The Local LNG Debate |
One of our most important responsibilities as Canadians is to be informed. Science can help with that! The LNG project in Squamish has been a hot topic in our community for a while, and we will take what we've learned about Earth's energy resources and examine both sides of the issue critically.
The players: Woodfibre LNG - Website and My Sea to Sky (one of the community opponents) - Website
