Penticton resident Lorraine Goldman, who is one of two B.C. residents also listed as plaintiffs in the case, said Tuesday that she called Fortis to buy renewable natural gas thinking it was a "great idea'' but learned that it was impossible for her to get only renewable gas.
"As long as I'm connected to gas, I will get fossil fuel delivered to my home whether I paid for [renewable gas] or not,'' she said.
What the actual hell is that?

"In filing this case, the plaintiffs, our clients, are not seeking any money from Fortis,'' Azevedo said.
Instead, she said they want the court to declare that FortisBC has engaged in deceptive conduct, and make an order that the utility has to advertise any court finding to let consumers know, allowing them to make decisions about their energy costs and climate impacts.
That's an appropriate remedy I can get behind. Put it next to all the ads thst say "LNG will reduce emissions", the fossil fuel shilling is very obvious.
