Not that one! But it’s still a huge problem
Hi Paov,
Everyone remembers Enbridge from the victory over its Northern Gateway pipeline long ago. But the company is still here in BC, and now it wants to resurrect another project that’s been stalled out for years — the Westcoast Connector Gas Transmission (WCGT) pipeline.
And it’s asking Minister of Environment and Climate Change George Heyman to bend the law to let it.
WCGT is the biggest fracked gas pipeline ever proposed in Canada. It would cross the province further north than the Coastal GasLink pipeline and it could feed the Ksi Lsims LNG project. It has had its permits since 2014 but they’re set to expire soon unless Heyman makes an emergency exemption to the law that limits the project to only one extension. Can you write to Heyman and ask him to let this zombie pipeline die? All he has to do is nothing and the largest gas pipeline ever proposed will have to go back to the drawing board. WRITE MY LETTER Enbridge is lobbying hard for this extension, but their reasons are flimsy at best. We are in an emergency — but it’s not that we can’t build enough pipelines — it’s that the fossil fuels that flow through them are supercharging climate disasters all over the world. Now is our chance to put a stop to it.
For the climate,
