My Natural Gas provider has been non stop talking about implementing renewable gas. Fine, so long as I see a reduction in my bill. Their only purpose is to deliver gas as cheaply, reliably, and safely as possible to homes and businesses. Everything else is outside of these purposes for existing.
They ask to survey me about renewables, and I say fine, so long as the discussion is about how it's going to reduce costs that are reflected in consumer bills.
I think the geniuses in Oregon government have mandated something, and they have to act enthusiastic as they screw over their customers, mostly harming the poor. They probably are enthusiastic, because utility profits are limited to a percentage of the operational costs. Increase the operational costs, and you get more profit. Consumers have no alternatives, as utilities are monopolies.
