Methane is the main component of natural

gas.

Methane has 25 times more warming

effect as CO2

2.5 million miles of natural gas pipelines

5,400 leaks in Boston alone

Only 450 pipeline inspectors

NG has the same warming effect as coal if the leakage rate is between 2% and 3%

Some experts believe NG leakage exceeds

4%nobody knows for

sure because:

The natural gas industry is suing the

EPA to keep NG leakage data from being made public

Robert W. Howarth, Cornell University

Zero NG leakage still results in

10 to 50 times more GHG emissions than

wind/solar

Lbs. CO2 per year A heat pump is also an air conditioner

A good time to consider a heat pump is when an old

air conditioner needs replacing

A high efficiency heat pump/air conditioner can

cut A/C energy use in HALF

Compared to a 10-15 year old air conditioner
