I can't believe I'm backing up Peter here, but there is increasing evidence NG isn't really any better than coal for GHG emissions. Particularly once you add in long pipelines, shipping it across the ocean, CNG plants, regasification plants, and more transport. Many sources of leaks.

Now, it is still better for other emissions, and particulates landing on glaciers are a very bad thing, so it's not nothing. But the GHG side is going to depend a lot on transport emissions. Something Canadian exports are going to have a lot of.
