Proposed LNG import facility at Port Taranaki faces opposition

from Checkpoint

Opposition to a proposal for a Liquified Natural Gas import facility at Port Taranaki has been aired at a public meeting in New Plymouth. The government said it will shore up electricity supply during dry years, but opponents believe LNG locks New Zealand into a fossiled-fuelled future and is dangerous. Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin was the meeting and filed this report.
