Hypocritical ConEd Wants FERC Approval for NY Gas Pipe Project

This one doesn't make a whole lot of sense for us. Late last year utility giant Consolidated Edison (ConEd) colluded with and supported the efforts of radicalized leftists in New York City to vote through a ban on new natural gas hookups starting next year (see ConEd Turns Traitor – Supports Natural Gas Ban in NYC Buildings). ConEd supplies electricity in addition to natural gas to customers in NYC and apparently figured it would just increase its electric business X-fold when natgas finally runs out. But suddenly, ConEd is lobbying to get a previously announced project to expand natural gas flows along the Iroquois Gas Transmission pipeline that delivers gas to...ConEd. Huh?
