For a while Natural Gas was painted with the same brush in Canada as Oil industry – that is dirty, emitting, and environmentally unfriendly.
A lot of this was due to radical politicians at federal level of Canadian government, as well as the most left-leaning provincial governments like PQ or BC.
The media picked up the wind and contributed their own part.
It looks though, that finally, this perception is shifting. Recent Ipsos Poll conducted in BC of all places, shows majority support Natural Gas industry, both as source of domestic heating as well as LNG export development.
If this is BC, imagine the Alberta, Saskatchewan and maybe the rest of the country.
There is even a thought to recognize Natural Gas as a clean energy (something even EU does) and label it a transition fuel, for Natural Gas can play a vital role in converting coal firing power plants, especially in Asia, to a cleaner source, without sacrificing energy availability and affordability.
There is also great progress with Indigenous Nations warming up to more LNG projects on the West Coast – like the most recent Ksi Lisims LNG .
Whether this change of atitude is due to the US attitude change towards their trade partners or anything else is a different matter.
What counts, is that although late to the game, Canada is accelerating fast and is ready to carve out their fair share of world’s growing Natural Gas demand of lkate 2020’s and 2030s – the New Pragmatic Age.
