Shell pre-empts the Prime Minister of Canada, announces expansion of LNG Canada overnight. TC Energy also announces doubling of Coastal Gaslink fracked gas pipeline capacity. More pollution, whale-injuring tanker traffic, flaring, conflicts, profits for foreign corps, fracking. Good for who?

From 2028, no new homes will be on the gas network - and will instead be on a heat network or get a heat pump - and they must have solar panels on their roofs covering an area equivalent to 40% of the ground floor space www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
