Sounds like they didn't prepare and thus should lose money because they have failed to prepare.

How do you prepare for a lack of natural gas supply? Either by installing new natural gas transmission pipelines or huge lng facilities to store it. Both require the public to allow said construction of pipelines and or lng facilities. Which gets shot down constantly. So the issue doesn’t lie with a lack of preparation.

Build solar, hydro, tidal and other sources of power generation. They should have gone hard into clean energy but they sat on their hands instead. Now they want us to pay for their failure to prepare?

They tried, blame New Hampshire.

Imagine taking responsibility... soon the entire strategic reserve will be depleted simply for an election ploy.

Sounds like they will just pass the cost along to customers.

Unfortunately under capitalism of a company has to chose between losing money and letting people freeze to death, they will always let people freeze.
