Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW) · Claim · claim
PGW criticized for using ratepayer money to promote natural gas as clean energy.
Classic greenwashing case where promotional claim prominence (C=68) significantly exceeds environmental reality (G=52). Natural gas is a fossil fuel with substantial methane emissions, yet PGW campaigns characterize it as 'clean energy' using ratepayer funds. High unverifiability (5) as 'clean' is subjective and misleading. Campaign nature indicates sustained repetition and multi-platform placement. Intent score of 11 reflects use of vague language, lack of verification, and pattern matching known greenwashing tactics. Utilities sector modifier (1.05) applied. Classification C: corporate claim dominates with C-G gap of +16.
