Political hurdles and bureaucracy have stalled pipeline construction in New York. The Constitution Pipeline, which was to carry natural gas 124 miles from Pennsylvania’s booming shale fields to consumers in New York, has been stalled for six years despite being approved by federal regulators in 2014. New York officials have used their authority under the Clean Water Act to prevent the much-needed infrastructure project from moving forward.

For too long, politicians like Gov. Andrew Cuomo and their ill-considered energy policies have hampered the development of safe, efficient energy infrastructure, subjecting American consumers to unnecessarily high energy costs and unreliable service.

If New Yorkers want to pay higher prices and deal with the effects of shortages, that is their business.  Californians certainly have no problem paying $5/gal for gasoline.  If New Yorkers wish to punish themselves with boneheaded Dem policies, have at it.  We will gladly have that gas piped to Georgia at lower cost due to reduced demand.
