Across New England, electricity prices are skyrocketing. Central Maine Power customers are experiencing ain their electricity bills. The dramatic increases in the cost of electricity burden households across New England. The increases are especially onerous for lower-income households that spend more of their disposable income on essentials, heating, food, and transportation.
As natural gas increased as a fuel source, there was a significant long-term decline in the emission of greenhouse gases. Relatively clean gas replaced carbon-heavy coal and oil.Until recently, 2008 marked the historic peak in energy prices in New England. In fact, the energy market value of fuels consumed in New England reached record lows in 2016. Natural gas from the Marcellus Shale basin was cheap. Since 2016, however, matters have changed.
Progressive politicians prefer that New England households consume LNG from Russia and not relatively inexpensive natural gas from Pennsylvania, a few hundred miles from the western Massachusetts border. Progressives won't admit the truth about sky-high electricity prices in New England. They blame greedy energy companies. That blame is an outright lie. Insufficient pipeline capacity is the cause, not corporate greed.
Keep voting DemSocialists into office - it'll only get worse from here
They’re “blue” states as I recall. Elections have consequences.
Massachucians love to be tortured and gladly pay higher taxes to support the Democrat Party there. They then move to NH to retire to avoid all the taxes. Unfortunately, they vote the same and are transforming NH into a pseudo-MA. Live Fre or Die is in jeopardy.
Thanks, Joe!
They could have had Cape Wind generating power, but no, they fought it tooth and nail.
