text: No surprise LNG in BC has gone nowhere when you look at the environment created by the BC Liberals.  Fossil fuels were bad and BC residents must be punished with a carbon tax for burning them.  BC Hydro must build a $9B hydro dam instead of a $1.5B gas-fired power plant.  Even gas-fired Burrard Thermal, the only large power plant in Greater Vancouver must be shut down as an emergency standby plant, leaving the city reliant on hundreds of km of vulnerable transmission lines.
  Then suddenly these same Liberals declare LNG as "clean", and promote its export carbon-tax-free.   Never mind LNG is far dirtier than nat. gas, due to the tremendous amount of energy (and consequent emissions) required to liquefy it.  All this energy goes to waste as the LNG must be regasified before use.
  No matter, BC will punish residents who buy high-efficiency furnaces to heat their homes with gas instead of coal or oil.  The hypocrisy is astounding.  Any surprise there is resentment about LNG exports?
