| Here's Why Russia Is Delivering Loads Of Natural Gas To Massachusetts |
| 2018-03-14 |
| [Daily Caller] Massachusetts’ anti-fossil-fuel policies are the primary reason why the state has relied on natural gas imports from a Russian oil company the Department of State sanctioned during the Obama-era. Officials in Massachusetts and neighboring New Hampshire blocked financing in 2016 for the $3 billion Access Northeast Pipeline, which would have helped the state weather an energy crunch this winter. The state’s decision to rely principally on green energy hiked gas prices and forced it turn to Russian oil imports. Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey concluded in 2016 that "no new pipelines are needed" and that we "can maintain electric reliability through 2030 even without additional new natural gas pipelines" Healey also joined New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s investigation into ExxonMobil’s alleged willingness to hide internal documents about climate change. |

| #13 "no new pipelines are needed" Only a few small parts of Mass. can use natural gas due to lack of pipelines. The rest of them need to burn $$$$ No. 2 fuel oil to keep warm every winter. They could save a huge amount of $$$ by allowing pipelines built, but they are too stupid to do that. This is the key part of this issue which is seldom made clear in articles like this one. |

| #10 The big foreign oil/gas producers (Russia being one) were, and still are, big funders of our US and European greenie movements, BP. It just doesn't say that on the regular deposit slips. |
