B.C. Premier David Eby is threatening to hold back minerals used by the U.S. military if Donald Trump hits our province with punitive tariffs, saying it’s “economic wartime”.
Meanwhile, Wall Street firms are buying gas pipelines and LNG terminals in B.C.
NDP politicians say Trump is out to lunch on climate change. But they’re in lockstep with the next president’s plan to expand fracking and fossil fuel exports.
Trump says he will cancel President Biden’s LNG export moratorium on his first day in office. B.C. never paused to ask if shipping fracked methane gas is a good idea.
It turns out LNG exports raise energy prices for people back home. LNG doesn’t displace coal – it’s delaying renewable energy in Asia. And LNG makes climate change worse, not better.
That’s what the Biden administration found when they paused to study the impacts of the U.S. LNG boom.
Why do B.C. politicians agree with Trump on LNG? How Wall Street convinced a bunch of left coast social democrats to stop worrying and love the (carbon) bomb.
After heavy lobbying by foreign gas companies, B.C. moves to build a $3B transmission line to new LNG terminals – regulated by the old Oil & Gas Commission. - The Tyee
