EDITOR,
It is time to stop calling gas from fracking operations "natural." This is a Liquefied Fracked Gas (LFG) proposal, and LFG is as dangerous to climate stability as coal.
If the plant is fired by fracked gas as planned, it will be a huge source of the CO2, which has already made the Salish Sea too acidic for oysters and scallops. Ocean acidification in the Salish Sea seems to be partly a regional issue, with local CO2 pollution making local waters more acidic.
Do Squamish residents really want to be responsible for detonating this huge carbon bomb over the Salish Sea?
