Fossil fuels are also responsible for a major part of our way of life, and are part of our daily lives in ways we couldn't live without.
I agree we have to find ways to reduce emissions, however I think its completely false to think that it will happen without moving to LNG, and then further.
We have billions of people in 3rd world countries who will have expanded energy needs in the next century, and right now hopes and dreams seem to be how the anti-fossil fuel crowd thinks that will happen.
The reason LNG is such a great solution is because we are still capable of producing & burning it with lower and lower emissions. Canada has shown its ability to be on the forefront of this push.
Unfortunately as a country we are also not serious about our role in the world, and our unique position as the holder of massive natural resources. To a certain degree it is our duty to extract and share them with the world, because if we do it, we do it with less emissions, and lessor emissions over time as technology gets better.
