I am so happy I live in Florida, heat, hurricanes, bugs and all. Plentiful gas, lots of capacity, and cheap electrons.

Gradually, we're seeing NY consider facing reality. The need for gas is almost being recognized! Combined with yesterday's news about saying they'll promote nuclear power plants, after Mz Kathy had a little chat with the president about the pipeline and nuclear, this is tentatively good news, if we see some action; not just talk. NY has a tremendous advantage with the hydropower from Niagara Falls, or they would be having regular, numerous blackouts.

Too many weasel words for me to think they’re serious about the electricity and space heating issues. A cold winter may help move the. Closer to reality but don’t hold your breath.

The new gas pipelines that Trump traded Hochul for a few wind turbines will do much to lower gas prices and increase usage in NY & New England to “normal” prices enjoyed my most others.

It was beyond ridiculous that they needed to use LNG infrastructure in Mass to fill their pipelines; but past NY governors would not allow cheap gas from PA to cross the state to points in-state and further north.

Since gas is so much cheaper than electricity, only a fool would use a heat pump, especially in upstate NY.
