"Residential National Grid electric customers on basic service who use 600 kilowatt-hours of power will see their monthly electric bills jump from $179 in the winter 2021-2022 season to approximately $293 for the winter 2022-2023 season -- a 64% increase according to the company and its rate filing with the Department of Public Utilities."

Thats in Mass. Amongst other inflation increases.

As I said in FR months ago, anyone can put up with adversity in the beautiful summer months, but wait till November through April hits. - Tom

They would not build a new pipeline and expected LNG tankers would bring gas to New England instead of sailing to Europe for the big money.

Fidiots.

A truth from years ago: “Let the b*stards freeze to death in the dark.”

Massachusetts Senate approves fracking moratorium

June 10, 2016
Media Contacts
Ben Hellerstein
State Director, Environment Massachusetts

Boston — The Massachusetts Senate approved a bill yesterday to place a ten-year moratorium on fracking and the disposal of fracking wastewater in the Commonwealth.

“Across the country, fracking is polluting drinking water and making families sick,” said Ben Hellerstein, State Director for Environment Massachusetts. “We applaud Senate leaders for taking steps to ensure this dirty drilling never comes to Massachusetts.”

Ha ha ha ha. Embrace the suck.

Why isn’t there any industrial scale aerogel insulation production going on? It is an insanely efficient insulator.

The biggest problem from it is that it works too well, so insulating a room, for example, has to be done with care or people will cook from their own body heat. But if you did insulate a single rooms in homes, the number of cold related deaths would plummet.

Things may get really desperate in cold and blue Massachusetts. The liberals will have to give up their cotton pajamas and gym memberships. They will have to switch to flannel, go deep into the woods, chop wood and oh no commit arborcide. Or they can move to Florida and seek the protection of De Santis.

If they hadn’t deported the poor Venezuelans, they could have used them to gather firewood, cheap.

Why is the national average for electricity .167/kWh but in New England its .266? Mine is .104. When does my honeymoon end?

Distribute 200 lb blocks of dry ice to every household, the dissipating CO2 will create it’s very own greenhouse effect in their homes and should keep them nice and warm.

Maybe, just maybe if they had a few more warm bodies to cuddle with, that would help. 🥶

Act now and order your plane or bus load of warm South Americans.

“So everybody should conserve. Everybody who has close friends, please tell them to conserve. I think it’s useful for everyone to be aware of that, and spread the word for conservation as much as possible...”

Not until I see my ‘betters’ curbing energy use in their huge mansions, leave their aircraft on the ground, take in the extra 30 or so illegals that could fit in ANY one of their MULTIPLE homes for warmth this winter, and Pelosi unplugs her ice cream freezer for good!

Not a single politician will be cold, hungry or inconvenienced in ANY way this coming winter. Not. A. One.

If Massachusetts has large heating bills its because the government wants it that way. They are right next to Pennsylvania and Ohio that both have lots of Natural Gas that can be fed into a pipeline right now. But if our government says no, its not Putin to blame. Europe’s gas prices should have nothing to do with Massachusetts Nat Gas prices. This has nothing to do with economics. It has everything to do with rationing.
