Bans on exploration and fracking by Biden and his warlocks exacerbate the problem of increased foreign demand. In a free country, increased demand and high prices would drive increased exploration and production.
Partially correct. The problem in MA is refusal to permit pipelines not lack of production. I think there are only a few places in MA where there is even any natural gas reserves, and IIRC they are not economic to produce. NY definitely screwed it self though, both the Utica and Marcellus Shales are potentially highly productive, even if neither extends east of the Hudson River.
