curious2 | 9 years ago | Reply How are you going to fuel the new "LNG power plants"? Pakistan doesn't have enough natural gas to keep the existing power plants running at capacity and hasn't been able to come up with the financing to get Qatar to sign a long term LNG supply contract. Some would argue that building a power plant without the fuel is like putting a cart before the horse.
