No, it is the environazis who hate petroleum who are making heating oil and fuel go up.

Let's survey the New England scene.

Nuclear power?

Two reactors were planned at Seabrook but the first unit didn't begin full operation until 1990, a full 14 years after the construction permit was granted, and the second unit was never built due to construction delays caused by protests … The difficulties led to the bankruptcy of Seabrook's utility owner, PSNH.
Natural gas?
Regulations in Massachusetts have prohibited hydraulic fracturing since 1982. The state has authority over any injection wells not on Indian land, and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection has not received any requests for permission for hydraulic fracturing.Jun 11, 2016.
New Englanders are also against pipelines, hydroelectric (unless it comes from Canada), and even wood burning.

No sympathy. Sucks to be them. Freeze, baby, freeze!

Then why are there so many Ukrainian flags all over the place up there? Anyway, they are using the shipped in LNG that the EU is clamoring now. So yeah, the botards in NE will pay big for their silly headed refusal to get a pipeline to regional fields.

Whatever... guess they like that kind of thing. LOL

The best part is the ships delivering the LNG are probably not using LNG,,,,,but burning a fossil fuel.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH Green Idiots

Meanwhile in PA, the state is potentially about to elect to the US Senate a brain damaged man who has promised to end phracking in the state. Soon we can all be Massachusetts if PA makes it so.

the same environmental moonbats that refused a gas pipeline will now deal with the same massive gas prices and shortages as the the rest of us little people.
Heating oil, Diesel and gasoline is also out of control.

At least we are doing our part to cure climate change...
RIGHT? You frigging loudmouth mother F’ERS

end phracking in the state

*************

I don’t know what that phracking is but I think you
are referencing fracking.

..the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into
subterranean rocks, boreholes, etc. so as to force open
existing fissures and extract oil or gas.

The idiotic sanction war Biden has engaged in with Russia will definitely raise energy costs this winter.

More objective evidence that the real pandemic is “Chronic Rectal-Cranial Inversion Syndrome”.

Under the Biden administration the answer is yes. Plenty of resources right under our feet to prevent this.

I'm by far no wizard. Sometimes can't remember what I got up
to go do. In fact at my age it is one of my best attributes now.
Have a nice evening.

Joe and his "NO DRILLING" mandate bears full responsibility for any NE power problems this winter.

New Englanders will remember the Biden-freeze of '23 in the election of '24.

But avoiding fossil fuels, fur and meat renders one a saint, while justifying killing the unborn in the womb for reasons of varied degrees of convenience, and promoting varied forms of fornication and gender confusion and surgical perversions, regardless of the cost in souls and money,

No.

That may be an excuse for it, but it is not a reason.

Do you really have any idea how many homes in the NE states have wood stoves?

Against wood burning?

Not on your life.

“...thanks to opposition both in New England itself and in neighboring states, especially New York, to building new pipelines.”

LOL, just look at a map - they ONLY ways to get around New York is via Canada or under the Atlantic (where Biden would blow it up, so that’s a non-starter).

New York State OWNS New England...and New England is now TOTALLY HOSED.

” New England’s gas imports are complicated by the fact that the shipments have to come from overseas, thanks to the Jones Act, which requires shipping that happens within the United States to occur on U.S.-flagged and U.S.-made craft, which the LNG industry does not use.

At the import terminals where LNG arrives in the Northeast, the average price for the gas is three times what it is at the export terminals largely on the Gulf Coast.”

TOO DAMN FUNNY - and couldn’t happen to a ‘nicer’ group of people. They vote for this crap, they’re getting it!
