Once more the indication that the eco-terrorists are leaving America at the mercy of the political mercies of our enemies. Let’s see, we are banning countries from dealing with Iran and Venezuela over energy, but for America, let’s have Russia take care of us.
Last year I reported
Russian Nat Gas has to be imported to New England but let’s get on Merkel
Trump huffs and puffs over Merkel’s arrangement for one big beautiful pipeline to run from Putin’s domain into the heart of Germany, guess who is dependent on the very same Nat gas from Putin? Massachusetts for one, and the rate the environmentalists are going, more of us to come.
An excellent example of just what has been allowed to happen that puts Americans at risk by a few nitwits. There, I said it and I cut to the chase.
Even the Boston Globe opined that “Massachusetts’ reliance on imported gas from one of the world’s most threatened places is also a severe indictment of the state’s inward-looking environmental and climate policies.”
Now I have a report on the situation in New York, the latest from the eco-terrorists.
For eight years, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has capitulated to the eco-left. From preventing the construction of needed pipelines to banning fracking, he has implemented an extreme environmentalist agenda.
Now, the consequences of those decisions are hitting New York residents hard.
Earlier this year, it was reported how New York is facing shortages of natural gas, even though it has plentiful shale reserves and shares a border with Pennsylvania, a state that also has shale reserves. As the Wall Street Journal noted, “The reason for the shortage is obvious: The Cuomo administration has repeatedly blocked or delayed new pipeline projects. As a Con Ed spokesman put it, there is a ‘lot of natural gas around the country, but getting it to New York has been the strain.’”
It seems New York has a partial solution – import liquefied natural gas from Russia.
That’s right, instead of permitting pipelines and fracking to get access to domestic natural gas, New York is importing energy from across the world – and from a geopolitical rival to boot.
Chuck DeVore, Vice President of the Texas Public Policy Foundation explains, “And, while Gov. Cuomo continues to obstruct new pipelines, generating political goodwill from some, his state’s policies, combined with a 99-year-old law that bans foreign vessels from shipping cargo between U.S. ports, result in the importation of liquified natural gas (LNG) from Russia and Trinidad and Tobago—rather than Pennsylvania or Texas.”
It’s not like we don’t have any pipelines.
Here are a couple of sites where one can find out pipeline locations down to the county.

The National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS) Public Viewer from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration allows users to view pipelines and related information by individual county for the entire United States. The map includes: Gas and hazardous liquid pipelines

“We trust the United States Forest Service to ‘speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.’”

I learned something today. I would have thought that given the number of liberals/communists in New York, they’d have enough natural gas to power the entire state. Boy was I wrong about that.

As you know, we live in western NY–not far from the PA border…but I gotta’ tell you, we “upstaters” can not stand Cuomo…and wish the city would just break off, LOL. The city is sucking us dry–he is hardly in Albany–he panders to the city folk. HORRIBLE and not to mention nasty Clinton lover Gilibrand. ICK…ok, I have issues…lol

Too bad your first sentence couldn’t have ended with “Once more the indication that the eco-terrorists are leaving America.” 🙂
But guess they are like all who were going to leave if Trump beat Hillary.

And after we eat all the plants, the CO2 levels will rise to new levels so there’ll be no O2 in the cave. 🙂
