Kuwait still uses heavy boiler fuel to distill every drop of drinking water used in the country, as far as I know. Admittedly, they are a small country....
"Let them heat with cow flatulence!"
We'll see New Yorkers chasing cows with giant plastic bags.
This, so New Yorkers can continue burning even more dirty fuel oil to heat their homes. While NY’s southern tier offers east/west Germany comparisons with their happily-fracking neighbors in PA.
You reap what you sow. Hopefully the survivors will vote out the Leftist idiots ruining their State.
Usn Adirondackers mountain people all done got them wood stoves. Gas what is gas? Tarnation!
I had to scroll back and check the name. You may be on to something there!
They should be using solar heated desal plants (think a lifeboat survival unit, writ large), as should much of southern California.
If you live outside the utilities distribution area like I do, the only choices are propane, oil, or electric. When we built in 2001, we chose oil. Today, I'd look at ground loop geothermal with propane as a backup.
Many of us in this part of the county don't want natural gas service. With it would come water and sewer. With gas, water, and sewer come people. With people come those that don't like guns, burn piles, cows, and other things we take for granted.
I grew up in Orchard Park, NY about 20 miles south of Buffalo.
I knew two high school friends that had gas wells on their property. There is so much natural gas out in the shale rock out there that there are places that it comes out of the ground. This place was a couple miles from where I grew up:
I expect someday that Cuomo and the rest of the stupid liberals in NY will close the Robert Moses Power Project downstream from Niagara Falls for some environmental reason.
It is incredible how stupid they are. Yet the NYC area keeps voting them in office.
I was born in Buffalo, and lived at Lime Lake for many years. I now live in Rochester. The whole Marcelus Shale deposit extends from south of Cleveland up to Orchard Park to South of Albany, and back into the Catskills.
NY could be pumping NG from a zillion wells and none of this would be necessary.
But we are stuck with Downstate democRATS driving the state into the ground.
If we had just discovered electricity today, the dems would say it’s too dangerous to use.
I remember that; I was in high school then and that was all everybody was talking about.
We had a democrat governor at the time and when the Feds told us to send gas and oil to the northeast, he told them to shove it but they ended up forcing us to do so.
The whole state was hopping mad, democrats and republicans alike.
In that case, just turn the spigot to cut off NY, since they don’t want the gas anyway.
Democrat rules:
1. Never waste a crisis.
2. When no crisis exists, create one.
3. Go to rule #1.
Perhaps when New Yorkers start freezing next winter, they will decide to elect someone who is pro natural gas.
What is their complaint about natural gas? It burns clean and is relatively cheap to produce. Eventually it will probably replace even clean coal in our energy mix.
Are they cutting off their energy sources to spite their human adaptation to a modern society.??
That would be NYC, thankyouverymuch.
Problem is, THEY won't be the ones freezing.
They'll let the Upstaters freeze and then we'll continue to get blamed for electing a dem to office that we didn't elect.
AMEN!!
