Its a mistake to see them as just another fossil lobby.

They are nothing like the big fossil majors- absolutely focused and DRIVEN in protecting their niche of delivering SOMETHING in those local pipe networks.. Since even they know the sun is setting on fossil gas… then denying logic is no problem for them in campaigning for the crazy blending of green hydrogen into the methane.

Crazy “economics” as well as heedless denialism that their pipes will not leak the indirect green house gas that hydrogen is acknowledged to be.

In Germany they got the dinosaur coalition partner to hobble the Building Energy Act…. until the CDU could come along to finish the job.

They are just as relentless here in Canada.
