Advocacy Against LNG Expansion

On June 30, Canada officially became an exporter of LNG. Emiko Newman (Coordinator of the BC Climate Emergency Campaign) uses this inauspicious occasion as a jumping off point to tally up the costs of LNG on our environment, climate, health and finances with Kiki Wood (Senior Oil and Gas Campaigner at Stand.earth) and Clark Williams-Derry from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. 

Tune in for a deep dive into fracking, how exporting LNG will drive up the domestic price of energy and gas as well as some serious mythbusting of the LNG greenwashing machine, including the myth that LNG is a necessary transition fuel that's cleaner than coal (it's really not).
