> s and electricity. They say next winter will be way worse than this winter, so buckle up and get in a contract with a third party supplier. Ambit and Inspire are two of my favorites since they have contracts without cancellation fees.
Last I heard our natural gas was coming via LNG tanker from Yemen, Europe, and of course Russia. There is so much shale gas near us (yes from fracking) in the Marcellus field. Why can't we get some pipelines? All this not in my backyard anti compressor station stuff needs to stop.

I agree about the NIMBY attitude, but do a little research on the compressor station. The states opposition to green energy is holding things back. We've closed a nuclear station, denied the various offshore wind projects, and haven't cooperated well with other surrounding states to bring in transmission lines.
The only purpose of the Weymouth station is to take natural gas from PA in the Atlantic Bridge pipeline, and re-pressurize it so it can be pumped to Maine and Canada and exported. Massachusetts doesn't benefit.
