Elections have consequences

even if you didn't vote for those idiots
I see a Mastercam maintenance increase in our future.

Political stances have consequences: "Natural gas is so abundant and cheap in much of the U.S. that producers want to export it overseas. Except in New England, where gas is so hard to get that companies are importing it from as far away as Yemen." In this particular case, the stance was we do not want any of those dirty, dirty fossil fuel pipelines in our backyards; and the consequences are soaring natural gas prices (2/3rds higher than the rest of the country) according to the WSJ, with the price probably continuing to skyrocket because of increased demand from consumers and what may be a really, really cold winter*. There's also apparently the consequence that New England air pollution levels have been rising in the last year due to the need to burn stuff that's less efficient than natural gas, but that's a whole different issue**.

...Well. Loathe as I am to see a bunch of Americans pay through the nose for electric – and more importantly, heat – many, many people are going to not-really-nicely note that New Englanders have largely brought this fate down upon themselves by voting in Democrats.  And it's true! New Englanders did, and they have.

New England is going to have a hard and expensive winter

I think that blog post was from 2015?  He mentions Obama as if Obama is still in office.

I believe it was...during the Obama years there were numerous attempts to build pipelines to bring cheap and plentiful
natural gas from the Pennsylvania gas fields to New England. They tried to replace some old gasoline pipelines as well.
Environmental activists, with the help of the Obama admin crushed all these attempts.
My snide remark about Mastercam maintenance is was that it may go up if heating oil and natural gas prices double or triple in New England this winter

that it may go up if heating oil and natural gas prices double or triple in New England this winter

I can attest to electricity procies have more than doubled, since August...NH already has some of the highest electricity rates in the country...

and the ask from the natural gas comaines for a rate increase is a several times rise in current rrates

Not all of us here vote for these idiots. We are sadly outnumbered. It is getting unaffordable to live here even if you make decent money. I tell people all the time the biggest detriment to the middle class is not the rich people not paying their "fair" share but the liberals with their taxes and "fees".

I'll just leave this here

Prices this winter are going up 60-100% over what they were last winter, he said. Note that gas and electricity prices already were exceptionally high during periods of last winter.
