British Columbia Premier David Eby sees a way for his province to exploit its abundant resources and proximity to Asia — without sacrificing environmental pledges core to his political platform.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Eby said he’s optimistic that LNG Canada, a massive new liquefied natural gas operation, can be expanded in a way that satisfies its investors but without supercharging the province’s emissions. He has also thrown his support behind other projects — including hydrogen production and an electric-vehicle battery recycling plant — to create jobs and keep BC’s economy growing at a challenging time.
