NY PSC Consultant Says National Grid Doesn’t Need Brooklyn LNG

National Grid is desperately trying not to run out of natural gas for its customers in Brooklyn and Queens (on Long Island). For several years the company has fought a battle to run a tiny pipeline to its Greenpoint, Brooklyn facility to provide extra natural gas. That project is being investigated by the Biden administration on charges of racism (see Woke Nation: 2nd Fed Agency Investigating Brooklyn Pipe as Racist). National Grid has a backup plan--add two extra LNG vaporizers to the Greenpoint facility to turn trucked LNG back into gas that can flow through the system. A so-called independent consultant reviewed the plan and filed a report with the state Public Utility Commission saying National Grid's vaporizers aren't needed. Let the folks on Long Island run out of gas--that's the preferred strategy, apparently.
