Due to Cuomo Pipeline Ban, Iroquois Imports Canadian Gas for NY
Andrew Cuomo's blockade of important pipeline projects like the Williams Constitution Pipeline (from northeast PA into NY) continues to keep the price of natural gas high in the Empire State. The Constitution, which was supposed to be built years ago, is supposed to connect to two other interstate pipelines, one of them the Iroquois (see Iroquois Announces Interconnect for Constitution Pipeline in NY). That never happened, and because of it, the Iroquois must import Canadian natural gas *every single day* in order to meet demand--gas that costs much more than the cheap, abundant and clean-burning gas from a few miles away in the PA Marcellus.
