How about Fracking in Western Ma where their is a formation? How about a pipeline that you have nixed? How about building a couple of 600 to 1000 MW Nuclear Plants either on the shore or somewhere on the CT River in MA?

Can you imagine everyone in this food chain from the Muni Bond promoters to all civic orgs, getting a piece of this 2.4 Billion and how many advocacy jobs they'd create with store fronts etc vs. installers of solar panels or heating and cooling up grades and retrofits?

BTW the State of MA for better of for worse has "MASS SAVE". They will come in, ( especially if you are low income elderly ) upgrade you to LED's and insulation and they have an assistant program to upgrade your furnace and they will help pay somewhere between 30 and 40% of it.

Seriously that is good stuff in a way, but what more will this program do? That State is all over you now, look at the Tax Increases they noted. hmmmm.....

“How about a pipeline that you have nixed?”

No kidding. There’s an endless supply of cheap NatGas just a few hundred miles away. Instead, I get my expensive gas from Yemen (our enemy) shipped in via French ships.

This map is perfectly tracking the hot air from New Haven, Hartford, and Springfield “sanctuary city” politicians.

I am reminded of when oil was found on the north slope of Alaska. The environmentalists threw a hissy fit and protested until it was decided to ban oil exploration there, around the 1975.
I said that all it would take is another oil embargo to get the drilling going, since we had just come off the first embargo.

Within five years Alaska was alive with oil exploration and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline was built and being pumped south.

Eventually the gas areas of of the East will be drilled like it or not.
