  1. I woke up to this news on the radio yesterday - I danced my way around the kitchen clapping and cheering! I could almost hear the whooping from Broome, all the way down in East Fremantle. Thank you for everybody's efforts to raise awareness of this very special Country. I was priviledged to spend time in 2011 counting whales with an incredibly dedicated crew.

  3. And just for good measure and really a bit more waste of time because none of these really address the fact that the people who wanted it so bad chose the wrong site and now are blaming and denying that banging a square peg in to a round hole is not advisable.

    THE battle lines are being drawn. In the blue trunks, weighing in at – well it’s probably not polite to say – is the gas industry. In the red trunks and not in its best condition but still looking like it can pack a bit of a punch, is the Australian manufacturing sector. Let’s get ready to rumble.

    Woodside Mothballs Major Browse LNG Development

    "Woodside has applied its usual commercial hurdles and we have decided not to proceed with the James Price Point onshore concept for Browse."


    "The decision is a commercial one," Coleman told Company Insight.

    "While we have seen an increase in both the environmental and administrative compliance requirements and procedures, Woodside is committed to the very highest standards in those areas."

    "A tender evaluation has recently been completed for all upstream and downstream scopes of work which showed that the development would not deliver the required commercial returns to support a positive final investment decision byWoodside. Woodside acknowledges the high quality of the work which underpinned the bids received from these contractors. Woodside also acknowledges and thanks the communities in the West Kimberley, the Australian and Western Australian governments and the Shire of Broome for their support throughout the evaluation of the James Price Point development.'

    Canada: Four more LNG projects proposed for British Columbia


    12 Apr 2013
    British Columbia's potential LNG production boom just got louder. Energy Minister Rich Coleman announced Wednesday that the provincial government has received four 'new major international LNG project proposals' to develop liquefied natural gas export terminals, all in the Prince Rupert area. That's on top of six multibillion-dollar export facilities already proposed for Kitimat and Prince Rupert, and at least two others that are in preliminary stages of consideration.

    1. Oh and I should mention that very quietly on the day Woodside announced the cancellation of JPP they also announced without any fanfare that they were buying in to a Canadian LNG venture.

      So there you go.
