Weymouth Compressor Shuts Down Again (4th Time), Antis Pounce

Every time the Weymouth, Massachusetts compressor station experiences an unplanned shutdown, as it did for the fourth time last week, it gives anti-fossil fuel activists more ammunition to try and convince the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Congress, and anyone else who will listen that this compressor should be permanently shuttered. Shutting it down now would have dire consequences for natural gas customers in places like Maine (see Maine PUC Says Shutting Weymouth, MA Compressor a Really Bad Idea), but antis don't give a flip about humans. Will this latest shutdown give antis what they finally need to keep the station offline?
