New England’s Lib Dem Governors Cave, Ready for New Gas Pipelines

The governors of the New England states (all except for New Hampshire) are liberal Democrats. And most have, in the past, bad-mouthed fossil energy, including natural gas. In 2022, then-Massachusetts Attorney General (now Governor) Maura Healey bragged she had “stopped two gas pipelines from coming into this state” and that she opposed new natgas infrastructure in the state. She later tried to cover up what she had said (see Mass. Gov. Again Changes Story re Blocking Two NatGas Pipelines). Healey, along with Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee, is now singing a different tune. They've caved on the issue of new natural gas pipelines and supplies coming into their respective states.
