The Philippines is planning one of the world's biggest buildouts of natural gas infrastructure, with almost two dozen power plants announced and ambitions to become a hub for liquified natural gas for the entire Asia-Pacific region. The coastal province of Batangas alone already has four plants and another four are planned. Authorities say the expanded capacity will help the country's energy needs. But the buildout is raising questions about the health of nearby coral reefs and fishing communities that have been impacted. Energy experts also say that the Philippines could meet its energy needs with cheaper renewables that don't contribute to climate change.
