Newsletter: Anti-LNG myths busted, and more . . .

How the latest anti-LNG myths are busted

The headline from Resource Works was: “LNG attacked with myth-information.”

The story went on to address two claims being pushed these days by anti-LNG groups:

1. That the world faces a glut of LNG production that will push prices down, thus damaging BC LNG projects.
2. The oldie that “LNG is bad for the climate” and “LNG emits about as much greenhouse gas as coal.”

Our blog then looked at how the two myths were shot down:

1. Professional market-watchers see lower prices actually increasingdemand, “especially in the fast-growing energy markets in Asia.”
2. The independent Public Policy Forum says: “Canadian LNG — especially from British Columbia — has a world-leading low life-cycle carbon intensity.” And the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says natural-gas power produces 50% fewer emissionsthan coal power.
