57,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas flared off in the Gulf on Monday. At a heating value of about 1000 btu's per cubic foot 57,000,000,000 btu's were flared over the 24 hour period. Prince George wasting taxpayer money to reduce their carbon footprint compared to what is happening in the Gulf is like pissing in the ocean and trying to see how much the water level has risen.

If the city makes this agreement and in the future Lakeland Mills has a shut down or something terrible like a fire what happens then?

This just cracks me up:

"The new system is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as it will reduce the number of truck loads of bio mass that will have to be hauled away from the Lakeland mill, it will also reduce the City’s carbon footprint as the City switches to bio mass heat as opposed to using natural gas."

The way I see it, there is the distinct possibility that we'll be adding a whole lot more crap into the PG air shed all under the guise of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reducing the mythical "carbon footprint."
