MEDIA STATEMENT: Enbridge Committed to Moving Towards a Lower Carbon Future and Working With the Government on Innovative Solutions
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/16/16 -- Editors Note: There is a photo associated with this press release.
The draft Climate Change Action Plan, as reported in the Globe and Mail today, proposes phasing out natural gas heating in homes and replacing it with electric heat. While Enbridge supports a lower-carbon future, we believe that phasing out of natural gas for home heating is not a responsible solution:
We believe that Ontario''s natural gas system can continue to be a solution well beyond 2030. Natural gas is the most reliable, affordable and abundant energy source for consumers and if it is used responsibly can benefit Ontarians economically and environmentally.
