PictureB.C. Premier Christy Clark’s PNWER Summit keynote address on July 21, 2014 focused on promoting LNG as an economic and environmental opportunity. “You can't separate climate change from current and future prosperity. It's not either-or. Any responsible leader in the 21st century knows it is both,” said Premier Clark.
In the Energy working group, PNWER works to find ways to provide sustainable energy for North America to fuel economic recovery and create a low-carbon future for North America. 

PNWER brings together key industry leaders from the U.S. and Canada to examine the following key issues: 
  • Supply and demand
  • Transmission
  • Permitting across multiple jurisdictions 

PNWER also leads the Legislative Energy Horizon Institute (LEHI) to educate legislators on energy policy. For more information please click here
