Lougheed pushes NEB report endorsing higher gas exports
Premier Peter Lougheed urged federal endorsement of a National Energy Board report that sees growth in Canadian natural gas exports. The study raises reserves to 66.1 trillion cubic feet, projects a 3.4 TCF export surplus over three years, and notes Alberta supplies 80 percent of Canadian gas. Lougheed links exports to Alberta exploration, jobs, and cash flow, while opponents cite conservation and market competition.
