As a Nanaimoite. Go fuck yourself Alberta, go fuck yourself Smith. Stop trying to interfere in BC politics and tell your transplants to learn how to take a fucking corner without braking.

Those petroheads need to knock it off and leave Nanaimo alone

Critics dismiss FortisBC’s renewable gas strategy, noting the fuel made out of methane captured from sewage and landfills is still 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year span if it escapes into the atmosphere.

I don’t follow this argument; they’re capturing and burning methane that would otherwise be released directly into the atmosphere.

To me the weak point is that they’ll never make it a significant part of their offering, not that they’re attempting to do it at all.

And Alberta: stay out of BC politics unless you want BC to return the favour.
