Glick Wants Power Plants to Contract NatGas Now to Avoid Shutdowns

Although Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Chairman Richard "Dick" Glick is a nutty leftist, he's not stupid. Glick can see that within a month or two there will be widespread shortages of natural gas available to feed gas-fired power plants, particularly in places like New England. Glick has voted against every single interstate pipeline project to come before him over the last three years he's been a commissioner, claiming the pipes would contribute to mythical global warming. Now his actions are beginning to bite him on the rump with coming shortages. So what does he do? He blames LNG exports and tells power plants they better grab all the gas contracts they can now, so they can keep operating this winter.
