Talk:Mackenzie Valley Pipeline

Discussion
It is worthwhile to note the probable greenhouse gas effects of this pipeline and the usage of the gas for oil sands extraction. According to the David Suzuki Foundation, it could contribute 25 megatonnes of greenhouse gases. That is 15 times the total GHG releases for Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. This has led the Suzuki Foundation to recommend the cancellation of the pipeline.

 * Given that the majority of NG is used for home heating or electricity generation, and that it is the most efficient fossil fuel in either of those roles, by far, it is more accurate to say that using the NG would offset 50 megatons of GHG from coal and oil.

And that is?
The lead mentions that the gas fields should contain " 1.9 trillion cubic metres " of NG. How does that compare with other fields worked by similar methods? I'm trying to understand whether this is a lot or a little gas. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:46, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
