BC Premier Clark Redefines Natural Gas as "Clean Energy" to Serve Political Interests

Christy Clark, the premier of British Columbia, has joined the ranks of public officials the world over, which have clouded the definition of "clean energy" by using the term to seve their own interests.

In an effort to make good on her promise that the three new liquified natural gas plants under development along BC's northwest coast would be powered by clean energy sources, Clark has announced a new classification of the term "clean energy" in British Columbia.

According to the Premier, only natural gas that is used to power the LNG plants will be classified as "clean energy," while keeping the classification of all other natural gas in the province the same.
