Assessment hasn’t been done

The Coastal GasLink proposal is for a gas-export pipeline connected to the interprovincial pipeline network. But it has not yet undergone a federal environmental assessment. In all probability, the courts will find it needs one.

Then the project will collapse since an assessment takes about two years, and renewable energy is rapidly becoming less expensive. Every month, it becomes more obvious that renewable energy is not only the right way to go given the climate crisis, it is also going to bankrupt companies selling high-cost fossil fuels like LNG made from B.C.’s fracked gas.

Why is the RCMP helping a company enter Wet’suwet’en territory when it does not have the environmental certificate it probably requires?
