How would Mass and NH get in the way of a pipeline from Pa to Ct?

My uneducated guess would be because they needed the pipeline gas sales in MA and NH to make it return enough money. I'm sure someone much smarter will chime in.

The NH market has been restricted since the enviroloons blocked gas grid expansion. MA's market is much bigger.

The value is in widespread availability of cheap and plentiful gas.

Here in NH, we have the only coal plant in New England in Bow. If that could have access to gas, the whole region would be better off.

NY state is the barrier. They won't let pipelines cross the state.

CT should cork the Iroquois line crossing the Sound and send it to Mystic.

ISO NE powers all of NE from Caribou ME, to Greenwich CT. From Burlington VT to Nantucket MA.

Every watt generated in every NE state benefits all NE states.

I’m assuming you are working in the industry since you are dead on with NY. I just posted the same thing. Unfortunately unless people do something with that state, bottleneck will forever to be there. They’ve screwed their own NY resident, and everyone else down the line are just collateral damage to them.
