Re: “Put LNG terminals far from people,” letter, March 25.
While we appreciate the opinions expressed in the letter, it is important to separate opinion from fact.
Natural gas is a safe and versatile energy source that is used every day here on Vancouver Island. Cooling it into a liquid — or LNG — is one of the safest ways to store and transport natural gas abroad to countries that currently rely on energy sources such as coal. In particular, LNG is safe because it is non-toxic, non-corrosive and non-explosive.
