Northwest  Coast Energy News has been, to use  a phrase familiar in Kitimat, "modernized."

The look of the site has been changed to more of a magazine style from the original hard news style. This reflects a change in our focus,  which is to take a longer term view of most of the issues involving energy, the environment and science on the northwest coast of British Columbia.

We will still cover breaking news as warranted.

The new look of the site means it is much easier to read on mobile devices including smart phones and  tablets.

You can now log in to leave comments by using your Facebook, Twitter or Google accounts.

There are some more changes ahead,  as we refine the theme and add more features.

With the site relaunch almost complete, Northwest Coast Energy News will resume regular coverage.
