Tonight planned electricity outage from 10pm to 4am. Finally a great guilt-free excuse to go to bed before 10 as I still deny my sliding into old****hood. Thank you @FortisBC !

about that gas:
The carbon footprint in BC of exploring, fracking, extraction, processing, piping, liquifying, shipping to Asia, and use in Asia is fine, but as soon as I use some of the natural gas to boil my kettle, the problem is me?

Fall windstorms can down power lines. If you see a downed line, ***ume it’s still live. Stay at least 10 m away & call FortisBC or 911. Learn more about #PowerLineSafety.

@bchydro So here's the thing BC hydro:
we had a power failure recently, lasted almost 5 hours. In 25 yrs we've had several dozen of these, often for many hours, sometimes days.
In all that time our @FortisBC service has not failed, ever.
Electrify? U must fix the grid

@FortisBC I think you might be solving the wrong problem, the "we are running out of Natural Gas" problem.
According to the #IPCC, we need to reduce #FossilFuels to fight #climateChange
Please solve the "#fossilFuels are causing #climateChange" problem our future depends on this.

@schckngs @krogher_77 @FortisBC its like that with everything Andrea. Like me, like you. if you're full of crap it rises to top & becomes apparent to everybody. I knew the video about sea level rise was true the 1st time I saw it because I took an interest in co2 alarm & looked into it, its a Pretend issue.

@FortisBC Big issue with RNG is that builders can do energy modelling with RNG to hit the energy modelling target but then the first owner can choose to never actually buy RNG. If a permit is awarded based on an energy model that used RNG, that is the only fuel that should be allowed.

@jjhorgan We get it, BUT, U need to get this>> @bchydro local grid in BC is awful. It's v/windy here, another power outage!
In 25 yrs our @FortisBC gas NEVER failed us. BC Hydro failed dozens of times, sometime for days.
Imagine 80% of BC'ers on hydro w/huge failure in winter!

Checked the outdoor meters & we've been given meter reading from opposite end of the meter row - and they've presumably been ***igned ours. So all 8 addresses will be wrong lol.
Called customer service & Jessica put note on account - sorted. Stand down @FortisBC!

@Lidsville @FortisBC Yet LNG is mostly methane (~1/2 density of air at stp)... it's only denser than air because in expanding from the pressure vessel it cools down greatly.
Lindsay Brown @Lidsville
Reported 2021-08-23 23:53:00
@FortisBC Hi Fortis. With respect, please re-read the thread. No one said LNG is flammable or explosive in its liquid form. The problem is when a large volume converts back to gas, & no, it doesn't always rise & dissipate; that's weather dependent & engineer has seen it do otherwise...

@teslainvernon @FortisBC @SwitchItUpBC 2) see if you have “temperature settings” for the burners. Being able to set a temperature and forget is an absolute dream.
3) many inductions stove use different wattages per setting. If the grid is down, you can often operate within the limits of a generator or solar inverter
