George Oake reports Pacific Gas and Electric says privately funding the Alaska Highway gas pipeline may be infeasible due to limited sponsor resources. John A. Sproul of PG&E warns that failure to proceed could provoke Canadian retaliation and jeopardize supplies for California, with NEB licence renewals looming in 1986.

Waiver package seen as insufficient to fund Alaska gas line
Pacific Gas and Electric officials say even a congressional nod allowing Alaska producers like Exxon equity in the project would not guarantee the funds needed. Experts say the line cannot be financed purely from private equity without guarantees or take-or-pay arrangements. After 72 days of hearings, PG&E seeks a 1.2 billion rate increase, with the commission likely granting about half, leaving a 2.3 billion investment hurdle.
