Also in the news: Enbridge’s death spiral. (Their words not mine).
Enbridge is asking the Ontario regulator for a customer rate hike to pay for a $16-billion expansion and replacement of its gas infrastructure because they are loosing customers to heat pumps & clean energy.
48 municipalities in Ontario have declared climate emergencies. There are also 21 communities in Ontario urging the Ontario government to phase out gas-fired electricity generation. 
There is lower average gas use per residential customer, declining rates of new customers, weaker economic growth outlooks & Ontario regulator is encouraging more competition. Enbridge wants to raise costs between $28 and $193 more annually per customer.
