  1. Uhoh... the beginning of some buyer's remorse perhaps for the folks who thought LNG was going to be the Great New Job Creator and saviour of Terrace BC?

    "Mayor Sean Bujtas closed off debate by saying he had a problem with LNG Canada itself.

    “LNG Canada boasted the cleanest LNG facility in the world and I don’t really think we’re there today,” he said. “And so the question is why, and when are we getting there? We have an air shed. You can only get it so dirty before it becomes a problem.”

    “I’m confident everybody in Kitimat and everybody in Terrace is seeing something they did not expect to see at all,” Bujtas continued.”

    Imagine that... a fossil fuel operation that has lied to the community, and is causing orders of magnitude more damage to the community and the global environment than they said on paper.

    “Gas flaring at LNG Canada far exceeds permitted volume, documents show

    UVic researcher says gas flaring volumes have been 'consistently higher' than allowed since last fall”

  11. Selling Gas to Countries actively leaving it

    (This Letter was sent to the Times Colonist on January 15, 2026) Dear Editor, I am actively watching, as we all should be, the travels of our Premier and Prime Minister in Asia. Both are touting their own version of Canadian fossil energy export diversification. Let’s focus on Premier Eby, India, and the market for BC LNG. According to Government of India documents, in 2014 India generated 708 terawatt-hours of electricity from coal, 93TWh from natural has and less than 10TWh from […]

  12. As Eby tours India today touting #BCLNG as the solution to their smoggy skies, reality is much —much— different. He appears to be selling gas to a country that is actively leaving it.

    "Coal use declined in both countries even as electricity demand continued to rise”

    " non-fossil energy sources grew fast enough in both countries to meet rising electricity demand.”

    independent.co.uk/climate-chan

    And from this article:
    independent.co.uk/news/india-s

    "Renewable energy is now the most economical option.
    Solar is now half the cost of power from new coal-powered plants. Shah added that dropping costs for energy storage, in the form of batteries, means that renewable power will be the “new normal," even when the sun doesn't shine”

    Neither of these articles even mention natural gas.

    A quick look at the "Electricity Sector in India" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric ) shows that the absolute amount of electricity generated by Natural Gas in India has dropped from 93TWh in 2011-12, to 56.6TWh in 24-25.

    At the same time, *just* Solar has gone from 4.6TWh in 2014-15 (the first year with separate numbers) to 144TWh in 24-25? Renewables in total including traditional Hydro have gone from 181-403TWh.

  17. Some light reading for the bus ride home!

    a teaser:
    "Those championing LNG exports argue that they would displace coal-fired power in other markets, and that Canada may be able to secure emission
    reduction credits from those countries under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. However, most experts have concluded that any such drive to "offset” domestic emissions from LNG and gas production is unlikely to pan out as hoped.”
