    Default New England Faces More Blackouts As Power Plants Close, Pipelines Scuttled

    New England is facing an energy future of “rolling blackouts and controlled outages” by 2025 as more power plants close down and pipeline capacity continues to lag behind.

    The new report by the New England’s grid operator comes after the region suffered through a frigid start to the new year that pushed up prices and strained energy supplies. It could be just a taste of the region’s future.

    “Taken together, the study results suggest that New England could be headed for significant levels of emergency actions, particularly during major fuel or resource outages,” ISO New England found in a new study.

    Harder to measure are the risks to the region from brief, high-demand cold spells, which present particular logistical challenges for fuel procurement and transportation,” the study found.

    ISO’s study found “retirements of power plants with stored fuel, tightening emissions restrictions, and the reliance on a fuel that may not be available when needed most are all challenging New England’s power system,” especially during extreme cold spells.

    New England has increasingly become reliant on natural gas, which is mainly supplied through pipelines and liquefied natural gas imports. But without adequate pipeline capacity, power plants strain to keep the lights on.

    Environmentalists have played a major role in killing pipeline projects meant to bring natural gas to the northeast. New Englanders can also thank Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for the lack of pipeline capacity.

    This is what they wanted, to freeze their asses off, isn't it? I'd call it a success.
    Now if we can just covertly slaughter polar bears to ramp down their numbers maybe we can get more pipelines to shut down.

    I just think it ironic that Rune is always banging on about renewables, yet New England will be in the shit if they don't do something soon.

    Cuomo has been sucking up to loony tune econuts and stopping new pipelines being laid. Maybe the treehuggers will get their wish and return New England to the 19th century?

    I hear Whale Oil is CO2 neutral.

    Does the pain in the butt, from England, know how shitty our infrastructure is all around the country? Are people really going to listen about infrastructure, from a troll from another country? I have to question your intellect, and integrity if you do.

    It isn't shitty except where leftist dumbfucks bent on destroying our power grids with moronic 3rd century technology are in charge.

    Well I do know that environmentalists are adding to the problem, so there is a certain schadenfreude about that. Stupid buggers in New York state pushed to get Indian Point closed down and want to stop gas pipelines as well. Cuomo licks their arses because he wants their vote for 2020. It is following the same pattern already established in Germany, people never learn.
