New England is approaching what grid officials and utility executives expect to be a very pricey winter for energy consumers and one that risks a shortage of energy during extended periods of extreme cold. It's not an unfamiliar forecast for the region, where cold temperatures and natural gas pipeline constraints have a record of driving supply tightness, and thereby driving prices up, during cold winter months. But this year, those pipeline constraints are overlaid by extremely competitive energy markets globally and fuel commodity prices that are already higher than normal going into winter.

Keep voting for Dems, and you have sky high winter energy bills. You get no sympathy from me.

Everyday your response should be:”Cold enough for you Greta?”

The same thing happened in the late 70s and guess what happened - the federal government granted energy payments to residents in democrat states. Biden will try to do the same thing. Hopefully a GOP Congress will stop this misuse of taxpayer money.

Impossible! We have rampant global warming, according to the most learned climate scientists of our time, Occasionally-Cognizant, Greta and Algor!
The elites will not suffer, as they will fly carbon spewing jets to that horrible red state, Florida, where they can continue to complain against the climate change deniers!

Since the environmental nutjobs have declared carbon emissions as the cause of global warming/climate change, perhaps they could fly their carbon emitting planes several times a day over New England and warm the place up.

#3 is correct, the Biden gang will declare women and minorities are being hit the hardest and will get more free money. And, somehow this will all be Trumps and the MAGA's fault. Mark my words.

Heating oil is up but only a bit more than 2012 levels. I thought most in New England used oil? Maybe they need to fire up those old oil burners.

Thank a Dem.
Our natural gas price has DOUBLED according to my gas company. So, expect heating bills to be double of last year.
Dems are destroyers. They break everything, and can build nothing.

If it gets cold and cloudy, perhaps they can burn their solar panels.
