What are the gas leakage numbers from that project and how badly will it wreck BC's GHG emissions reduction targets?<br /><br />As you say, Harebell, I think there's a willingness to look the other way at industrial leakage, to keep it off the emissions books.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-28813451535072910612013-03-29T14:34:42.515-07:002013-03-29T14:34:42.515-07:00Gas leakage is a big problem and it's the litt...Gas leakage is a big problem and it's the little ones that go un-noticed that cause most of the leaks. The big ones in high pressure distribution and storage pipes are really difficult to ignore. The Beattock failure in Scotland back in the 90s illustrated that.<br />Ronan point is another example of the trouble with gas and led to a slew of cracks at the gas board's expense. <br />"What is the difference between the IRA and the Gas Board? The IRA give telephone warnings."<br />Dark humour is nest appreciated when in a conflict after all.<br /><br />But that's the problem with private industry, these leaks are externalities, just like the toxins washed into the river by by Fort Mac. They never have to factor the true costs of their activities into their balance sheet because they externalise those costs to government. Another aspect to Corporate welfare that goes unnoticed by many.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
