A UNIFIED ENVIRONMENTAL MESSAGE Joint task force of PERC and NPGA representatives details plans for a comprehensive communication strategy for the industry

摘要

Propane Education & Research Council(PERC)Councilors gathered for another virtual meeting on Feb.10.As discussed when PERC met in November， a couple of months would be devoted to the development of the most effective environmental messaging campaign possible.The group-comprised of two representatives from PERC and two from the National Propane Gas Association(NPGA)， led by Stuart Weidie， chief executive officer and president of Blossman Gas-laid out their plan.Weidie reminded councilors of a few assumptions:1.The case has been made that increases in global greenhouse gas emission in recent decades are real.2.The narrative that fossil fuel combustion is the main cause of climate change is firmly fixed as a moral certitude.3.Propane is assumed to be a dirty fossil fuel， despite its favorable environmental attributes.Conversely， electricity is seen as clean.The grid’s inefficiency and dependence on coal and natural gas are ignored.4.The”Electrification of Everything”movement is rapidly gaining momentum and threatens the future of the propane industry.
