Just to clarify my earlier response and maybe tie a couple of those pieces together, when we were talking about the $2 and $20 numbers, that is for the commodity alone. I think I referenced the percentage of the bill that is. You have to look at the overall bill impact. You also have to look at how these costs can come down, and will come down over time. It's really trying to figure out what those costs look like.
Probably the most important point I could make today is the fact that we have no idea where or which process those costs are going to come down best and fastest. The thing we have to think about from a policy standpoint is not to throw out any options early on. You have to make sure that you have the infrastructure, so that if RNG or hydrogen becomes really cheap, if carbon capture and storage comes to light, if there are new technologies that come in on the electric or the gas side, we can shift and make sure that we're utilizing the best possible resource to have the climate impact that we're looking for and the cost impact that we're trying to avoid. It has to be that balance. If you throw away any of the options early on, then we won't be able to shift or use what's most beneficial for our customers.
To be clear, we are driven by what our customers and policy-makers want to do. At the end of the day, if that goal is for our customers to want to reduce their greenhouse gas impact and they want to buy and pay additional...which they do. With FortisBC they willingly buy renewable natural gas from us because of the lower environmental footprint it has. Our customers should be free to do that. If policy drives us in that direction then we must have all options on the table and know when to pull them off, but you can't pull them off too soon.
