This stuff is driving me a little crazy.
To portray Kitimat as some piece of pristine wilderness is bizarre.
There has been an aluminum smelter there since the '50's, this is supported by the Kemano dam which only flooded 120,00 acres and destroyed a salmon fishery.
A pulp mill was built in the late '60's.
A methanol/ ammonia facility operated there from the '80's to 2005ish.
Real nice benign processes for the environment....yeah right.
All these operations were serviced by tankers using the deep water port. I don't recall a single shipping incident.
Yet the crude tankers are going to be sinking regularly and washing up on the coast?
According to Lone Clone the natives and BC environmentalists are ok with the LNG facility....good stuff.
Are they ok with the source of that gas? Its a product of fraccing, requires a pipeline.....through the already logged countryside.
Boggles the mind.
