“Our country needs breakthrough relief now. So, we will be getting that report with a timeline as quickly as possible to assess our options to see what can be done in the next 18 to 20 months,” he said.
He said if the fuel factor line goes down for every household and every business, then “every piece of the cost of living in the country goes down”. He added, “It’s not just about energy, it’s about efficiency.”
But LNG, which is also a fossil fuel, is far from a silver bullet. It also raises many environmental concerns and is very unlikely to be a stopgap solution, as it has been described in the past by both CUC and government officials. It is primarily methane that has been supercooled into a liquid state.
Despite efforts to promote the fuel as a cleaner alternative to other fossil fuels, environmentalists argue that cooling it alone requires immense amounts of energy, often generated by burning other fossil fuels, releasing massive volumes of CO2 before the gas is even burned.
