"Renewable natural gas" is just biogas rebranded. 馃檮

I was just on the Enbridge website where they are raving about it. False solutions and greenwashing everywhere.

"RNG is not as low-carbon as the industry claims and its local air and water impacts are concentrated in vulnerable communities. Even if it were low-carbon and equitable, there simply isn鈥檛 enough of it to substitute for more than a small fraction of natural gas. And even if it were low-carbon, equitable, and abundant, it still wouldn鈥檛 be an excuse to expand natural gas infrastructure or slow electrification."

Don't these PR and marketing folks ever feel bad about the deception?

And is Enbridge the mystery investor about to announce they're building the Northern Gateway 2.0 crude oil pipeline?

Just a reminder of how this plays out. Fossil fuel companies will copy each other's actions - you can bet on it.
