Lack of pipeline capacity currently contributes to skyrocketing energy costs in the region that some sources estimate are 50 percent above the national average.
Blocking pipelines, as New York has done, also means states and local jurisdictions must reach out to outside supply sources, which oftentimes are foreign companies.
In Boston, for example, Exelon Generation’s Everett LNG Facility has imported gas for the last two winters from Russia because the company doesn’t have the pipeline capacity to get a flowing shale supply from Pennsylvania.
