‘World’s cleanest’ LNG still a B.C. goal
colourful lights display
By tom fletcher Black Press
The B.C. Liberal government isn’t wavering from its goal of developing clean energy as negotiations continue for an expanding natural gas export megaproject across the north, Premier Christy Clark says. In a year-end interview this week, Clark responded to Coastal First Nations concerns that liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing at Kitimat and potentially Prince Rupert could proceed without external electricity supplies. Clark said LNG exports to Asia have been her top economic priority in recent months, with the original two projects on Haisla Nation land at Douglas Channel growing to eight proposals as international interest in British Columbia shale gas development has grown. Confidential negotiations are ongoing with energy companies, and decisions on power supply have not yet been made, she added. “Our plan has always been for the cleanest LNG produced anywhere in the world, so that’s been hydro, wind power and other renewables as well. But, we’ve always said there’s going to have to be some natural gas power produced to shape it. “There’s another economic imperative we have, which is to grow our clean energy industry. We’ve got the third biggest clean tech industry on the globe, after Germany and California, and we want to keep growing that.” Last week, the Haisla Nation dropped out of its voluntary association with the Haida, Heiltsuk, Gitga’at and other communities that make up the Coastal First Nations (CFN).
