LNG plants becoming less futuristic

in the smh today.
obviously related to the >$65 price of oil and everyone scrambling to secure another decades' worth of 'energy'.
people are smart, high prices are a good thing, they are pushing us closer and closer to carbon free energy vectors (dung --> wood --> coal --> oil --> nat gas --> carbon free), when the cost of easy energy gets too high, we'll come up with better ways of doing things. the real discussion is whether we keep moving to the right or step back into coal which is a 200 year dead-end.
still, its gonna suck being a poor country when the weather starts going haywire no matter which way it all ends up.
