Focusing on the two contending discourse coalitions formed by supporters and opponents of British Columbia's liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry, the book explores the ongoing debates around the issue. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book's in-depth investigation of the BC LNG controversy identifies progressive extractivism as an increasingly popular policy\/discursive paradigm adopted by fossil fuel advocates to legitimize unconventional fossil fuels in an era of intensifying climate crisis. It also highlights the importance of debunking the misleading \"jobs versus the environment\" dichotomy in mobilizing public opposition to carbon-intensive economic growth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis deeply nuanced look at energy discourse in public policy will have resonance for scholars and students working in the areas of environmental communication, rhetoric, discourse analysis, public policy, and climate change rhetoric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSibo Chen\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Assistant Professor at the School of Professional Communication, Toronto Metropolitan University, Canada.
