Calgary Herald Letters for April 20: Argument for natural gas more about profit than environment

by · Calgary Herald

Mike Rose, the CEO of Tourmaline Oil Corp., makes his case for increasing LNG exports to displace coal-fired electrical generation in Asia. This assumes that Asia even wants more fossil fuels.
