As far as this. . . . wouldn't it be nice if we had a better pipeline and some more storage tanks to keep stocked up.
Nope. This is Nerrr Engrlurrrnnndd. NIMBY central. "Oh we want everything we want, but you can't inconvenience us a tittle. It isn't fair! No no no."
STFU. Gosh. If people in the rest of the country heard how we deal with infrastructure, they'd collapse in laughter. While I don't think we want a Houston-area level zoning situation, I'm thinking a bit of flexibility is in order in mASS.
Now, as Iv'e stated before, my current house has a gas pipeline behind it (unused Shell line). My new house to be built - I OWN THE LAND THE PIPELINE FOR THE REGION IS ON! NIMBY my ass all you want. I'll take power and heat every time.
Didn't we go through this in 78 or 79? Something about how frozen Boston harbor and the surrounding area was - they had let the gas supplies in the tanks in Boston (hmmmm - maybe they shouldn't have KNOCKED DOWN THE OTHER ONE!!!!) get too low and there was "fear" of us running out of NG?
