'Dodge Cove is situated on Digby Island, which is a short boat ride from Prince Rupert. About 40 people live in the community, and there are no paved roads, no cars and no stores.
The international energy company Nexen Energy has picked Digby Island for a proposed $20 billion LNG terminal with the goal of shipping 10 to 20 million tons of LNG from B.C. to Asia each year.
The CBC’s George Baker paid a visit to the residents of Dodge Cove to hear about the tough choice they face: live right next to an LNG terminal — or get out of Dodge.’
