"pollute our air with CO2". Sir, please be advised that CO2 is what enables us to live on this planet. No CO2, no photosynthesis, no plants, no vegetation, NO LIFE. Geology informs us that present CO2 level is only 10% of what it was in the past. Suggest you study botany and geology a bit more.

No nation can prosper unless it has access to relatively cheap power.. We are paying more than 6x what are our American friends pay. Natural gas is the most economic source of power. Other choices are at least 2x more costly. Plus it is the cleanest choice. Or would you prefer diesel?

It is letters like the above that frustrate and annoy me most about this country. People are happy to complain and always look for the negatives in everything but never come to the table with answers or suggestions how it can improve. How can it be right to burn thousands of gallons of diesel for power every day? Only burning coal for power could be worse! Things must move on. There is no single magic green bullet for power, but everyone wants it, nor is there a money tree to implement it. Making steps in the right direction can only help, LNG power is one small step.

Small nations can make a difference and can take the lead in showing the rest of the world how to do it. I read a fantastic story how a small area in the North of Great Britain (Teesside) has been selected as the first place in the world to build a gas fired power station that will emit no harmful gasses to the environment by using CCUS technology - zero emissions! Shell, the new LNG Operator, are one of the companies doing this. Why not open the door to these companies, their money and say yes I want power, but I want you to demonstrate to the world how it can be done here with no emissions.

Because the only goal of politicians in this country is to have five more years of power, nothing else!

What is does it mean to be in power if you do nothing with that power!

Self enrichment is not nothing!

If Saudi Arabia land of oil is moving to do solar for electricity we can too. You can 3D print solar panels even! I guarantee a tender to move all of BEC to solar and a utility Tesla battery is the greenest and cheapest way to go. And remember if we don't do LNG then that is a fracking field somewhere in the world that won't have to be fracked.

On a small archipelago of beautiful islands, who on earth wants every spare square foot of land to be covered in solar panels to provide the primary and secure supply of electricity the islands need? Solar panels are a brilliant technology for small scale domestic generation, to supplement centrally generated mains power, solar is not the answer for a nations base energy needs.

You and Columbus are full of shit and obviously paid to post stupid comments.
"Every spare square foot of land to be covered in solar panels."
Are you an idiot?

Porcupine, all you ever do is post hate, you never come up with any answers. All you do is blame the administration for this or someone else is corrupt for that, it never ends. Your inability to suggest anything productive is tiresome.

As for an answer on every square foot.... A small LNG turbine of say 6MW would require 7 football fields full of solar panels to produce the equivalent power. Thats around 350,000 sq feet of land required just for panels alone. Also, solar power only being generated in daylight hours.!! How much power do you think is needed and where do you suggest all these solar panels go?

Time you came up with some answers!!!
