ISLAMABAD: Minister for Petroleum & Natural Resources Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has said about Pakistan’s procurement of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to meet its energy needs. Despite best efforts to disseminate the facts through the print and electronic media, and parliamentary forums, several so-called energy experts and pseudo-intellectuals continue to raise unsubstantiated and irrational questions about the contribution of LNG to the future of Pakistan’s economy. Any doubts about LNG need to be laid to rest, and the people of Pakistan need to judge for themselves whether or not LNG is beneficial for Pakistan.
LNG is a game-changer and the only solution to Pakistan’s current energy shortages; the viability of Pakistan’s energy future in the short to medium term is directly linked to LNG. If Pakistan had committed to LNG 10 years back, people would not have any power or energy crisis today.
