  1. It does not matter as long as the Packers win!


  2. According to two sources linked below(1) & (2), they suggest that the electricity required to power 2000 homes is between 2MW and 3 MW, thus for this assumption I will use the mean, 2.5MW. Taking the average length of an NFL game, 3hrs 06 minutes (3), this would equate to 7.75MW of electricity. According to DEFRA research from 2005, the average emissions per KW/h was 0.43kg. 7.75MW is equal to 7750kW and multiplied by the Co2 per kWh would equal 3333kg or 3.33 tonnes of Co2.
