Question

1. The Coastal GasLink pipeline proposal would see natural gas shipped to the West coast for eventual transport to Asia. As you may be aware, it is being opposed by some indigenous groups in British Columbia, and has been criticized by many for enabling the continued use of fossil fuels and the associated carbon dioxide emissions. Describe the reasons why an environmentalist might nevertheless argue that the pipeline could result in lower carbon emissions and should be built

Answer 1

An environmentalist might nevertheless argue that the pipeline could result in lower carbon emissions and should be built due to the following reasons which are as follows:

• First of all, it reduces transportation energy that ultimately reduces CO2 emissions.
• Secondly, pipelines can be used for other purposes apart from the oil that would be beneficial for the environment as a whole.
• Most importantly, we can transport the things in remote regions also in a very cost-efficient way that is good for the environment at large and many more.
