NW Natural told Oregonians it had a new source of clean energy: renewable natural gas. Industry documents obtained by ProPublica reveal how the company has, for years, perpetuated its core fossil fuel business while painting a picture of going green. propublica.org/article/nw-nat…

Like many gas utilities -- probably including yours -- NW Natural told officials and the public "renewable natural gas" was the key to its climate goals. But years after launching a rosy marketing campaign, its fossil fuel business is still going strong. propublica.org/article/nw-nat…

Oregon gas utility NW Natural has gone to extreme, obfuscatory lengths to make it seem as though they are really committed to reducing carbon emissions propublica.org/article/nw-nat…

NW Natural, Oregon’s largest gas utility, marketed renewable natural gas as a key part of the state’s low carbon future. Today, it accounts for less than 1% of gas sold. This greenwashing protects fossil fuel companies' profits, not our future. propublica.org/article/nw-nat…

It's Friday the 13th and ProPublica out here unmasking villains like the Scooby gang. šŸ‘ŗ NW Natural Gas, Oregon's largest fossil fuel corporation, has worn a "green" mask for a long time. *Yoink* McKenzie Funk propublica.org/article/nw-nat… #ORleg #FridayThe13th

Despite "green" promises beginning nearly a decade ago, NW Natural Gas continues to pump ever more methane to Oregonians and block efforts to move to clean energy. Higher pollution and profits for the fossil fuel company. @Propublica investigation: propublica.org/article/nw-nat… #ORleg

.NW Natural has quietly started experimenting on SE Portland homes by blending hydrogen into the gas lines— w/o informing residents or gaining approval from regulators. This lack of transparency is deeply troubling. Governor Tina Kotek Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC) #orleg oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2024/08/27/nw-…

Portlanders, did anyone ask you about this? No! NW Natural's hydrogen blending project is risky & the lack of transparency is troubling. Hydrogen is more prone to leakage, more flammable, and more explosive than methane gas. #orpol Rob Nosse oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2024/08/27/nw-…

"No one informed me about changes to my gas service." NW Natural blending hydrogen into SE Portland homes' gas supply without oversight or community input. Governor Tina Kotek: halt this project now! oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2024/08/27/nw-…

The fact that NW Natural is quietly piping hydrogen into homes in Portland, without addressing the concerns that led to the cancellation of a similar project in Eugene, is deeply troubling. Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC), #orleg This project should be halted immediately. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2024/08/27/nw-…

Oregon's largest gas corp, NW Natural, accused of downplaying climate harms, in an expansion of an lawsuit brought by Multnomah County. This could set a new precedent for holding gas utilities accountable for damage done by their fossil fuels. #orpol opb.org/article/2024/1…

Multnomah County added NW Natural and Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine to its ongoing climate lawsuit Oct. 7. The complaint alleges fossil fuel companies misrepresented the impacts of burning fossil fuels, contributing to the deadly 2022 heat dome. streetroots.org/news/2024/10/0…

Here's hoping there's no šŸ’„ disaster in Eugene! The methane "natural" gas system costs us millions to maintain and its polluting our neighborhoods and planet. Sometimes risks exploding too. There's a better way to heat and cook: clean electricity. #ORpol nbc16.com/newsletter-dai…
