As someone who’s worked at Terasen Gas/FortisBC, I know firsthand how Woodfibre LNG will make a positive impact on Canada’s economy, while benefiting hundreds of thousands of Canadians who directly rely on this sector to support their families.
Canada is blessed with amazing natural resources, and we shouldn’t be ashamed of that.
We need to make the most of our valuable resources and ensure that our energy sector can thrive and compete globally, while making a positive impact at home and abroad. We should be selling clean Canadian natural gas to East Asia, which accounts for 60% of the world’s coal consumption. By switching from coal to natural gas, they’d see 45% less related emissions.
It’s a win-win-win scenario.
But you know what’s really impressive? Not only did Woodfibre LNG implement West Van council’s non-binding motion to make their project cleaner, but they’re going to do it 23 years ahead of schedule! That’s the kind of collaboration and problem-solving we need to restore the Canada we once cherished, and that the world once admired.
