Premier Christy Clark's dreams of a booming liquefied natural gas industry in B-C took another hit yesterday when LNG Canada delayed its final investment decision on a project in Kitimat. Clark made a massive political bet on the future of LNG in 2013, promising 100-thousand jobs and 100-billion dollars in revenue over decades. The industry has failed to materialize, but University of Victoria social policy professor Michael Prince says he doubts that will hurt the premier much in the next spring's election. (Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman says the global energy market downturn has created economic challenges for LNG, but the province remains optimistic about the industry's future.)
