No one installed a meter on my car.

Is my vehicle service centre giving mileage information to some government bureaucracy without my permission?

Or is it determined by the amount of gasoline bought at the service stations? Wish those people in Vanderhoof and Mackenzie would stop purchasing their gasoline here. Give PG a bad name.

Is the city sifting through my garbage to determine how much of it is GHG producing and to what extent?

Are Terasen and BC Hydro telling the same people how much I am using for energy. Is the guy who is delivering my birch every year telling how much he is delivering?

In other words, how the heck to they know? Wetting a finger and holding it up in the air to see which way the wind is blowing does not help in this case.

Must be those ATVs and snowmobiles!! :-)

Community Energy and Emissions Inventory is in serious need of a science update as the GHG issue is falling apart. Rigged science, corrupted peer review, it goes on and on. Biggest scam in history.

I took a quick scan of a few of the communities we are being compared to. It is like comparing apples to oranges.

The main reason why so much for vehicles is the types of vehicles we drive in relation to the lower mainland.

33% of the energy use reported for PG is for large industrial with 7% for small commercial and medium industrial for a total of 40%.

250GJ/person total.

Burnaby uses 11% and 14% respectively for a total of 25%.

126 GJ/person for Burnaby.

It takes a lot of energy to support primary manufacturing.

Then we look at trucking - diesel fuel.
PG = 23GJ/person = 9% of total energy used
Burnaby = 6.9 GJ/person = 5.5% of total

Being the creater of primary products and extracting and transporting them comes at a price which is not attributable to the relatively small population base that supports such processes for the provincial masses.

The system needs to be refined so that we are comparing communities on a more equitable basis rather than making us look like we are energy gluttons.

BTW ... the graph info prepared above really does not paint the right picture. it lumps all buildings and all transportation together rather than removing the industrial buildings (processes for the most part in reality) and industrial transportation.
