Yeah. Natgas is pretty good as a fuel. Piping it is more efficient than liquid fuels.
Nunavut families to protest high food costs where whole chicken costs $65
- Thread starter petros
- Start date
I found up there they tend to make the most of the 3 months of summer and winter is pure survival.
My 2 cents.
My 2 cents.
Between MacMillan Bloedel and Crown Z, I think they got most of it- probably a few cedars and hemlock here and there! :lol:
OK, take a breath.
If the immaturity level is low it means the maturity level is.........................high?
A compliment from you to the whole forum, and on their behalf, I thank youse.
No need to applaud.
;-)
No need for a dig either but I see you had to make sure your pals saw that.lol
Nothing to add to the topic but insults then why are you here commenting?
The maturity level just dropped again,the kids dont want the adults to talk I guess.
Another member of the clique,too funny!
But you don't know Paul Roada.
Interesting.
Ummm...
Then...
Maybe some consistency would be in order.
Not that the only drilling can be done out at sea.
Yep. You did.
With geothermal or NG, a moderately sized facility could easily supply a population the size of Nunavut.
There is the potential for that to actually work.Solar power??
Not sure about the winter.. biomass.. hydrothermal?
The permafrost is on the surface. With a range of 500 to 1400m.
Neither strip mines nor drilling rigs are stopped by it.
Open pit mines are constantly running pumps, to remove ground water, seeping in through the rock. Well below the permafrost. Which ends at the Shield.
Any hard rock miner knows that.
Boomer, while I was educating myself on geothermal potential in the Arctic, I came across all this data, that simply puts to rest all the false claims that have been made in this thread.
And just to stress the absolute possibility of Boomers idea about geothermal resources across the Arctic...

Permafrost has NO bearing on geothermal energy exploration or exploitation.
Money on the other hand, does.
Thanks.
As an ex hard rock miner, I'm not unaware of what permafrost is, and I'm acutely aware that mines, both strip and underground, suffer from water issues. Including the one we raised a fallen raisebore out of in the Arctic.
Permafrost is trapped in the overburden. It doesn't prevent drilling, or mining in any way. So the claim that permafrost prevents geothermal exploration or exploitation, is absurdly false.
Since I was recently told that my word is not to be taken at face value on these discussion, and that sentiment seems to have been accepted by others in a silly little clique. I felt educating myself on geothermal possibilities in the Arctic and then posting the indisputable facts, backed up with documentation, was in order.
So here we are, geothermal energy is an absolute possibility in the Arctic.
