(ENB.TO) (TSE:ENB) (NYSE:ENB) last […] So I think your question is just spot-on and a very good opportunity for us. So we're aligned with the shareholders on what you just outlined.

So it kind of depends on what's happening in the market in any particular year as to how much of the fixed cost you're covering generally. We expect roughly 40 Tcf per year of new industrial and power gen demand, and RNG are going to be real, and we'll explain our strategy on this in a minute, but unlikely to come into play in a material way before 2040.
