You have to be an idiot to live in Commie NY.
It is not just NY. Here in NH they proposed a 3’ diameter NG pipeline that would start in PA, go through NY, MA, NH and then back into MA.
In NH it would travel along an existing ROW that a 1’ diameter NG pipeline already traverses.
However, the fear mongering NIMBY took over. It got voted down in every town referendum. Somewhat because we in NH do not need the NG. It was primarily going to benefit MA, RI & CT where they have shut down nuclear plants. Although now we use primarily NG and nuclear(Seabrook) here in NH to generate electricity.
The problem is there are only two main NG pipelines coming into NH. One down through ME from Canada. The other comes up from MA. The issue is that a lot of NG comes into the port of Boston as LNG. Which means it travels from TX(or other US origins) on US flagged LNG tanker ships. Which have to abide by the Jones Act. Which primarily means they pay the crews more. Most are union ship crews.
It also means that when the demand for LNG went up in Europe due to the Ukraine war that affected the price for LNG delivered Boston too. That then increased the price that Eversource(the main New England electric utility) wanted for a KHW of electricity delivered to their customers.
I am locked in a contract with a secondary supplier of electricity. However, there were many people around here complaining on the local Facebook page that their bills had DOUBLED. I immediately asked those complainers whether they had been in favor of the Kinder Morgan proposed natural gas pipeline OR they have been against it? Most of them never responded. Which means they were against it. Or they did not understand that the pipeline would have lowered their electricity bills. That is because they have absolutely no idea HOW their electricity is generated. It just magically comes out of the wall socket.
