Politicians want credit for being green but won't own up to the consequences of their policies.

Just crank up the psi 50% over capacity and let the whole place blow

The utility’s fundamental legal obligation “was to plan and provide for future needs,” the governor wrote. “You failed by your own admission.”

Yeah? How much do they need to contribute to your campaign in order to meet their future needs?

Tinpot dictator Cuomo thinks natural gas can be transported if he orders the utility company to turn on the tap.

What a maroon.

"Developers...unable to provide gas to new buildings, business owners cannot obtain..upgrades and homeowners have had to fight to get suspended...service restored."

Sounds like California. Hmm, what do these two (once dynamic) states have in common?

Hilarious!

How to go from the First World to the Third World in just a few years? Elect a bunch of Democrats.

Good luck, Virginia!

Dear Mr Cuomo,

Due to the all but certain litigation that will arise from your complaint, we are Suspending ALL Natural Gas Shipments and Supply to the State of New York in an effort to mitigate any possible damages that may result.

Impeachment seems to be all the rage!

It's just like the Soviet Union. Restrict/Regulate/Paralyze/Bureaucratize. Then punish you for your inability to produce.

Amazing, the fact that we're there now.

Socialists fighting socialists. Love it.

How they operate is fully on display. Restrict access to the things that the masses need ($$$) and force it all to run through politicians and consolidate power.

It’s a lesson about why carbon is this phantom enemy of climate.

It’s like Ayn Rand traveled to the future and then wrote Atlas Shrugged. Oh wait, she did, she escaped from a communist country and when you’ve lived in one of them you know the future of every other one.

If National Grid were smart they would use this opportunity to disassociate itself from Cuomo and New York State. Eventually New York will be forced to import costly Norwegian or Algerian liquid natural gas. Sure there are already Democratic insiders skimming the contracts. The cost of energy will rise over 40% in NY, Connecticut and NJ over the next five years.

The PG&E wildfire saga showed me that utilities are not at all safe investments in places like NY or CA (and probably many other states)

The leftist governments there look at them as stated-owned entities.

“Mr. Cuomo, in a letter, accused the utility of “mishandling” its gas supply system and recklessly disregarding its obligations as a public utility when it issued the moratorium. “

It is Mr Cuomo who is behaving recklessly. They have INTENTIONALLY failed to approve a new natural gas pipeline, to feed the politics of a “green” agenda. Failing to insure the pipeline needed to for an adequate supply is provided, Cuomo then threatens the supplier for doing what is prudent, and best for the system overall - not approving new hook ups.

If it were possible, Cuomo ought to be arrested for “abuse of office” for “political purposes”.

How is adding transmission infrastructure by building a pipeline NOT planning and providing for future needs? Yet the goobermint are the ones preventing the pipeline construction.

I think they should tell NYC to get their gas somewhere else. I’m sick of these tyrant city-states. They want their services, but want their green socialism too. Not compatible.

“National Grid should have looked into alternatives, including shipping gas via trucks, ships or barges, or proposing other infrastructure means or building more unloading facilities.”

Those alternatives spill gas at 40 times the rate pipelines do and jam the already overloaded highways with more dangerous trucks.

Brilliant eco-terror there, Cuomo.
