Title: LNG on the Skeena: documentary and a petition link

The LNG project may destroy the salmon habitat of the Skeena. I thought I might share a link to petition to protect the river.

The scientists said in the letter to McKenna that the draft report “is scientifically flawed and represents an insufficient base for decision-making. We urge you to reject the CEAA draft report.”

However, B.C.'s Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman said the scientists reached the wrong conclusion.

“To have a group of people write a letter and just say, 'We disagree,' I don't think they've gone and done the work to quantify their opinion,” Coleman said. “Quite frankly, the only opinion that's going to matter is the opinion of the federal scientists who they've hired, who worked with the project for a long time on the details.”

What's makes them think that people should trust those federal scientists? The fact that they've been working on the "project" for a long time doesn't necessarily give them an upper hand in their 'scientific' justification. Overall, I think this is not going in the right direction. The environment minister and the BC Natural Gas Minister are there to protect the same turf and Ms. Clark only has a few month to deliver on her promises before the next election.

Post by: Tylsie on September 27, 2016, 10:07:38 PM: Fortunately in this case I don't think approved means anything. Petronas is more than likely going to walk away, or at least shelf the project for a very long time. There is no money to be made with LNG prices now. Especially with Australia and Malaysia having several projects just as large. No press release from them, nothing on social media. Didn't even have anyone present at the press conference. They have gone from promising that it will go ahead if approved to saying that every aspect will be reviewed.
