Obviously fracking Australia’s substantial shale gas fields or setting up coalfield gas projects would have eliminated the need to build a gas import terminal, but Andrew “Twiggy” Forest has long been a critic of domestic Australian fossil fuel production, and has repeatedly helped to convince politicians to block domestic energy projects.
This new gas import terminal comes just in time for all that extra gas drilling and export capacity Abu Dhabi announced at the last climate conference.I’m sure Twiggy had our best interests at heart, when he campaigned to shut down domestic energy production while building a new import terminal.
After all, it would be a shame if all that additional capacity Abu Dhabi announced at the last climate conference was duplicated by new capacity in Australia.
Doubling up on capacity would create the risk of oversupply and a global fossil fuel energy price drop, which could in turn reduce household bills and delay the green energy transition.
We should all really thank Twiggy for ensuring energy continuity, by providing a gas import terminal just when supplies are getting tight thanks to all the domestic energy projects regulators have vetoed in recent years.

In short: The first LNG import terminal in Australia is nearing completion at Port Kembla, near Wollongong.
*** The Twiggy Forrest-backed company claims the gas imported can supply almost all of Victoria's forecast gas needs and 70 per cent of the requirements of New South Wales.
