Gold Member BOHICA Posted November 6, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted November 6, 2022 Dang that is some electricity needed to push that gas down a pipeline. Wonder how much coal is burned to send that gas 3000 miles.. https://www.pumpsandsystems.com/pumps-and-systems-transcontinental-energy-transfer The energy used for such transfer is enormous. At a $0.10/kWh energy cost, each pump consumes nearly $3.3 million per year. With four such pumps per booster station, and approximately 50 booster stations along nearly 3,000 miles of pipeline, the total energy consumed to move gasoline is enormous.

And that is not even counting the loss from all the new small sub stations getting to the grid . But I say again my fusion is the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
