Clark stakes B.C.’s energy future on liquefied natural gas

The Globe and Mail -- As the contentious Northern Gateway project – a key part of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s goal to take Canadian resources to Asian markets – remains under review, British Columbia Premier Christy Clark is trumpeting a plan to do the same thing.

Her plan, however, involves liquefied natural gas, not oil, and so far has not faced the opposition that surrounds Northern Gateway, a twin-pipeline project that would ship oil from Alberta to Kitimat and condensate back to Alberta along the same route.

The more natural gas exported from the region, the higher domestic prices will go.
