This Day In Snookland....The Twelve Dollar (Anti-) Solution.

From the Ernst and Young report on LNG development released earlier this year:

...More realistically however, the current supply side of the LNG business — including most, if not all, projects under construction — needs to be assured that it will be able to achieve a netback (i.e., after shipping costs) of about US$10 to US$11 per million BTUs, or about US$12 to US$13 per million BTUs delivered...


Charlie Smith took it from there on Friday. Here is his lede:

ASIAN PRICES FOR liquefied natural gas have fallen to their lowest levels since April 2011.

According to an article in Business Day, the spot prices for August delivery are down to US$12 per million British thermal units.

If these prices were to hold, it could kibosh B.C.'s LNG industry before it is even launched....


So.

If the Russians keep making deals and the Japanese decide to fire up their nukes, can someone tell me how, exactly, are we going to pay that hundred billion dollar IPP bill that Mr. Campbell and his Golden Era cronification of everything left behind for us?
