Why not approach power generation differently?

Dear Editor: We hear a lot of coverage on the huge liquefied natural gas resource in B.C., and that our economic future rests on the shoulders of exporting LNG (so other countries can use it to produce electricity).

Dear Editor:

We hear a lot of coverage on the huge liquefied natural gas resource in B.C., and that our economic future rests on the shoulders of exporting LNG (so other countries can use it to produce electricity).

We also hear great controversy on Site C and other hydroelectric projects, and the billions needed to build them.

 How about we build electricity generation facilities in the areas where our vast LNG resources lie, and then we need only transmission lines, not pipelines. And those facilities will not cost billions.
