power plant burning oil
If it weren't for burning oil and coal in New England, the lights would have gone out during the recent cold snap in January. We read a startling statement from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) in a post from yesterday: "...on January 21, 2025, thermal plants that burn oil provided more electricity to the ISO-NE electricity grid than plants that burn natural gas." It is angering and humiliating. For years, MDN and others have repeatedly made the case that a couple of new pipelines from the Pennsylvania Marcellus into New England (just a few hundred miles long) could eliminate New England's power-generation problems and dramatically lower the cost of electricity for everyone throughout the region. Yet the Democrat left that controls New England's politics like the Mafia refuses to allow natural gas pipelines, claiming it would create global warming. So, burning oil and coal is better for the environment? You see how two-faced these people are.
