National Grid: Long Island, NYC Heading for NatGas Shortage, Soon
New York City's CBS affiliate WLNY Channel 2 recently got a sit-down interview with National Grid President John Bruckner to discuss the company's moratorium on new gas hook-ups, to grill Bruckner on whether or not there really is a gas shortage in the region. Bruckner handled the adversarial interview well, telling the reporter that yes, there really is a shortage. Currently there is a shortage between supply and demand--to the tune of 10,000 homes. Bruckner said if there's a serious cold snap this winter, Long Island and parts of NYC served by National Grid will experience a service outage--a natural gas blackout, if you will. It's a scary prospect.
