Eversource CEO asks Biden to take emergency action on New England natural gas supply

“I am deeply concerned about the potentially severe impact a winter energy shortfall would have on the people and businesses of this region.”

By Ross Cristantiello   
October 31, 2022

The head of Eversource is sounding the alarm to President Biden, urgently requesting that he use emergency powers to ensure New England residents will have enough fuel to stay warm and avoid blackouts this winter.

The concerns were expressed by Eversource President and CEO Joseph R. Nolan, Jr. in a letter sent to the White House last Thursday.

“As both an energy company CEO and a lifelong New Englander, I am deeply concerned about the potentially severe impact a winter energy shortfall would have on the people and businesses of this region,” Nolan wrote.

Despite Eversource and other entities accelerating work on large-scale clean energy projects like offshore wind farms and hydropower facilities, Nolan said that New England remains dependent on natural gas to meet power needs — both this winter and for the foreseeable future.

Nolan also cites concerns raised by ISO-New England, the region’s electricity grid operator, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. For months, representatives from those organizations have warned that New England will not have enough natural gas to meet power supply needs if weather conditions bring a period of severe cold to the region. ...

Joe Biden doesn't care if New Englanders freeze to death.  He'll be warm and cozy in his basement in Delaware.

It seems, for whatever reasons, these utilities placed their bets on "Green".

The new Lysenkoism of "Green" and other pseudoscience will lead to unnecessary death, just as the COVID response.
Democrat: the party of death.

It's not real money.  It is Government money printed out of thin air.

It's money that we're paying out of our pockets due to the higher cost of energy that passes through on the cost of everything.

In the meantime, are we still sending tankers full of LPG to Europe?

If so, WHY...?

One more reason why -- as I have posted numerous times previously -- American energy (coal, petroleum, natural gas) produced in America should STAY IN AMERICA.

No foreign sales to anybody.

Sorry to those members of the forum who work in the energy sector.
I ain't changin' my mind about this.

I'm all for exporting surplus. We don't have that.
But keep in mind that this was the predictable outcome of New York's anti pipeline stance, and no one was squeaking then.
People voted for this, and they should be reminded of that every day.

And NY's anti-fracking stance.
