And that's before factoring in the cost of building the massive amounts of infrastructure to produce the amounts of biogas this idiotic initiative will require.

That's in today's dollars. Fortis is talking out of both sides of their mouth since they own upstream systems and stand to benefit from fossil fuel sales, but they want to look good offering a renewable option.
We are talking about 2050 here. Any talk of price is pointless. Fortis just raised their rates by 80%.
What is the cost of doing nothing and continuing to release carbon?
If you don't believe climate change is a problem, or if you think the free market will solve everything, there's no point discussing it.
