You may recall earlier this month when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo threatened utility company National Grid with massive fines if they didn’t start adding more natural gas hookups in New York City. This was done despite the fact that National Grid had told him that they no longer had an adequate supply of gas in their aging pipelines to provide service to more customers. This left everyone wondering what would happen during peak demand hours this winter when the temperatures dip into single digits.
In order to avoid the fines, the utility agreed to start adding more hookups, even though it might outstrip the supply. (That didnt’ stop the Governor from continuing to defy calls for the approval of a new pipeline to keep up with demand.) But even that concession apparently wasn’t enough for Cuomo. Now he wants the state’s public utilities regulator to look into the option of canceling National Grid’s license to operate. That’ll teach ’em a lesson, eh? (CBS New York)
Excuse me? This is your idea of a solution to the problem? Oil or “trucking in gas?” First of all, even if you could start pumping heating oil through the existing pipelines (you can’t), the furnaces, stoves and other appliances that rely on the supply can’t run on oil. They’re not designed for it. Unless you want to tell everyone to gut their buildings, rip out the gas heaters and replace them with oil-fired furnaces. But then you’re just using more evil fossil fuels that you promised to keep in the ground.

People in New York State with gas and oil on there land should start a class action suit...
There taking there mineral rights with out paying for them
I think Andrew Cuomo genuinely certifiable. Mad as a hatter.
The few times I have been unfortunate enough to see him speak on TV it is creepy just to watch. Really.
Did Cuomo eat paint chips as a kid?
Looks like Fredo got all of the brains
Cuomo to New York City: Drop Dead! (Or at least freeze)
NYS is going to freeze to death when winter strikes.
Idiot governor for NY ping
HELLO!!!
NYS!!!
NG is our supplier too up here in CNY.
The nitty gritty is Soviet policy during the era made kulaks a class enemy. Anyone with tractors or cattle were suspects. So farmers and ranchers destroyed tractors and culled their herds. The production dwindled so fast, the Ukrainians were caught off guard.
The Soviets, due to poor economic policy, starved millions to death.
History repeats itself, doesn’t it?
Well, it's not like you can divide up a thimble's worth evenly.
‘They’re taking their mineral rights’...........
THERE -fixed it.
1. Set up conflicting regulations. Expose co. to fines and lawsuits.
2. Drive company into bankruptcy.
3. State “forced” to take over company.
4. Yay Communism!
When people freeze to death over this Cuomo should be charged with Involuntary Manslaughter
I wonder if Williams has any pipelines that go through Five Nations territory.
Sounds Like the same situation is being set up on California with their electric company.
Most U.S. states rival countries. Most U.S. states are run by the most FUBAR people.
I live in Rome, New York and have National Grid for my gas and electric. If Cuomo gets their license revoked, I think it’s time we dragged out the old electric chair that was used by New York State Corrections, and put Andy Pandy’s a$$ in it, and turn him into a crispy critter.
Looks like Cuomo has been working to qualify himself for Hunter Biden’s vacated seat with Burismo. Both appear to have similar skill sets. (The incompetent of the incompetent.)
