Northwest Coast Energy News is a news and information ntelligence site that reports on aspects of the in-progress and proposed energy developments on the northwest coast of British Columbia.
Northwest Coast Energy News makes sure that all aspects of key issues facing the region; concerns of all local communities, including First Nations, the environmental issues and the aims of the energy industry, are covered fairly and completely from a northwest British Columbia perspective.
The aim is to provide “actionable intelligence” to our readers, both in the Kitimat region and in the world wide energy industry.
Producing that actionable intelligence costs money. You can advertise on Northwest Coast Energy News.
Only Northwest Coast Energy News can serve all readers with vital northwest coast local intelligence that these other media organizations fail to provide. (Also due to staff and time constraints we do not usually match stories that are covered by the maim stream media but work for stories of local, exclusive, interest.)
It is vital for both the energy industry and the environmental movement to have reliable reporting on what is happening here in the northwest. It is vital for local communities to be aware of what these distant players are doing.
On the coast, there are two distinct energy issues, first, the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline (and possibly other bitumen transportation projects) and second, plans for Liquified Natural Gas projects. Both are about the transportation of hydrocarbons, but very different hydrocarbons. At the same time, these two issues are related, pipelines may be built across some of the most rugged territory on the planet, prone to landslides and earthquakes. Both projects plan to send their products across stormy seas to Asia and both have been called “vital” to the future of the Canadian economy.
Northwest Coast Energy News aims to be the reliable source of news and intelligence for all sides of this issue, ensuring that the readers are aware of anything that has a bearing on the eventual outcomes. That means Northwest Coast Energy News will feature reporting and other original content, along with aggregation of what other media outlets are reporting.
We welcome news releases, story ideas and tips from all those interested in northwest coast energy issues.
