U.S. Executives Resign From Alaska LNG Startup Over Novatek Allegation

Several U.S. energy executives have resigned from Polar LNG, an Alaska liquefied natural gas startup established in March, after discovering Novatek's alleged financing and direction of the venture.

The executives' claim was that Novatek, a Russian gas producer, financed and directed Polar LNG without their knowledge. Their resignations followed discovery of that alleged role.
