(Jersey is also blocking the pipeline, since Gov. Phil Murphy is appeasing the same green extremists.)
National Grid gave months of warning that it would need to impose the moratorium if fresh supplies weren’t ensured.

I got work waiting in PA for when even Staten Island is affected too much by the Pezzonovante in Manhattan and other boroughs.
Another term win by a leftist gov or mayor may do the trick.

I can’t imagine how delusional that fool is.
Enjoying all the fruits while complaining about them, how utterly stupid these morons are
Meanwhile …back on the southern tier. Impoverished land owners are not allowed to have natural gas companies drill and make the region rich.
Thank you older brother of Fredo
It’s Trump’s fault.
And they wonder why people are leaving NY in droves.
What morons.
Knock yourself out.
No, really, KNOCK YOURSELF OUT!
[[[Enjoying all the fruits while complaining about them, how utterly stupid these morons are]]]
Instead of fracking on the Southern tier which along with a sane tax policy would fuel a manufacturing/business renascence in upstate New York, they will build windmills on the ocean.
This is the heart of liberal policies. High taxes, high costs, suffocating regulation then squalor.
Someone paint “Democrats” on the planet destroyer in the Star Trek episode.
At least he can say he isn’t Fredo.

These people have had literally their lives destroyed thanks to Cueball.
I lived in upstate Endicott area for a year back during the mid 90’s. During the economic boom, you could swear you were in a time warp up there. Nothing going on except closed up companies.
