Looking at Woodfibre LNG terminal for example. According to Eoin Finn, a consultant from KPMG, the electrical subsidy for Woodfibre alone will cost taxpayers  some $34 million a year, or $860 million over its 25 year lifespan. Furthermore, there is an 18 month carbon tax holiday, a heavily discounted LNG tax rate of 3.5% locked in for 25 years, natural gas royalties lowered to almost nothing, no sales tax on methane purchases and the industry as a whole gets a $200 million a year drilling credit.  All this for 100 permanent jobs at Woodfibre and no revenue guarantee despite all the subsidies. Taxpayers pay for everything: free water for shale frackers, subsidies, even the $100 million put in the LNG Prosperity Fund since it came from MSP. 

Then there's the environmental issues...

B.C. needs at least $10 per million BTU  to make a dollar due to remoteness and the high-cost of fracking shale. Global markets prices are around $7 and it's glutted. This alone make it all senseless.
