In 20-50 years we have to move away from petro chemicals completely. Building a way to export that directly conflicts with what we need to be doing.

It’s great if we want to pollute less, but not at the cost of inflation in its current state; food, housing etc. If you think we can just ramp up electricity production to power our vehicles and other uses without a cost to the environment, you’re not realistic.

Air pressure supported the dome evenly across its surface area while raising it into position for welding. This method prevented the dome from bending, deforming, or fracturing while being lifted. Lifting by cranes would require the dome to be far more ridged, which would increase weight and cost.

@@lukefrahn8538 Easier? Not necessarily. the anchor points for the crane have to be strong enough to hold the whole lid. Cheaper? Cranes aren't cheap... especially in the numbers and sizes you'd need. Safer? How so? Using fans and pressure is a basic principle. It may SEEM safer as there is a visible structure in place, but once you think of air as a liquid, it's easier to see how an even upward pressure over a large area is probably the safest way to do this. It's basically a hydraulic pump. BC Place in Vancouver (along with other domes) used a pressurized system to keep the roof inflated for decades. As long as you can maintain pressure for 3 hours, what's the problem. This tank will be storing LNG which has been pressurized anyhow, so it's build to withstand it.

Dow is probably coming to this at some point, as well as the hydrogen plant. I will probably work at both. Currently I'm trying to get onto commissioning crew at the LNG plant and for instrumentation they are apparently struggling to find manpower so I might have a hand in getting this plant up and running, and maybe then move onto the Dow plant.

Canada is already in the top 5 or 10 in everything from electricity generation to oil exports. It already is an ‘energy superpower’, and has been for years….

I worked on this project, and it's rather sizeable. Work is still ongoing commissioning to start next year.

Around 4:20 it mentions the removal of CO2 from the gas. Where does it go from there, into the atmosphere? When the tanker gets to it's destination and converted "back to gas" where does the CO2 come from? Assuming that it must be replaced, having been removed to turn the gas to liquid?

Although many western countries are looking to get off of natural gas, it offers an extremely cost effective gap for developing nations to bridge the gap between dirtier fossil fuels.

NG is mostly methane.

Burning natural gas also creates nitrous oxides which themselves are incredibly harmful to the environment. Unfortunately marketing campaigns (propaganda) from gas companies and political lobbyists seem to have wrongfully convinced people that gas is 'better' than coal despite them both being pretty much as damaging.

As a Canadian I’m not necessarily for or against these types of projects but as much as trickle down economics is kind of a meme, it’s benefits still do exist. You cannot have a 40 billion CAD mega project without there being benefits to the economy. Thousands of Canadians have been working on this project for years. The majority of these jobs are very well paid. As much as Canada is incredibly inefficient building these kinds of infrastructure projects, usually at the end of the day the facilities end up being world class in terms of efficiency, environmental impact and very high levels of safety. If there is demand for any sort of product in the world Canadians should be working hard to meet those needs in the most environmentally and socially sustainable manner possible. People whinge and moan any time anybody try’s to build anything and Canada, this attitude needs to stop if we hope to remain near the top of the human development index our place on which has slowly been declining.

Until then, we need something that can displace coal ASAP and back up variable renewables easily, and like it or not, that fuel is Natural Gas.

The wind and solar crap are less than 3 percent.
