“New Yorkers already pay the highest rates for natural gas and electricity. All these costs are disproportionately felt by the poor and middle income ratepayers.”

Ummmm, no. Its felt by middle class taxpayers because the "poor" (you know, those that live in housing with the windows open in the middle of winter) will apply for HEAP and any other program out there and get their Bill's paid anyhow.

Yup, we used to know this welfare queen through some friends of ours. She was 100% on the public dole - welfare, food stamps, Obama phone, housing, light bill, heat, you name it. She contributed nothing to anybody and had her hand out all of the time.
She sat there one day and told everybody that the summer heat didn't bother her because she had gone down to the county and gotten 2 free air conditioners and just left them running in her apartment all the time.
So she got to keep her place cool even when nobody was home and never had to worry about paying the light bill because the taxpayers paid for her entire existence. The worst part was that she had 2 kids that she was raising and grooming to be just like her.

I'm sure nothing has changed since then, but we haven't seen her in a few years now.
"Poor" indeed.

Shot like this is why Trump was elected. This shit backfires on them repeatedly. Who would vote for this?

Con Ed, National Grid and other companies started placing moratoriums on service areas, refusing new gas hookups because there’s not enough gas to meet demands — since 2014, 1.2 million residents in the Northeast, with 925,000 from New York, were impacted, the report said.

“Protecting New Yorkers and the environment are this administration’s top priorities, which is why decisions on individual projects are made at the agency level by career public servants who conduct a rigorous review of the facts and science,” he said.

1 - bullshit. NO agency in NY makes decisions based on facts. They make decisions based on what will get them elected.

2 - career public servants are the problem in this country. They have nothing to worry about because they're set for life and have no idea how normal people live. Also to call yourself a public servant when you completely ignore what the public wants makes you a liar and a dictator. If you were a servant you'd do what the public asks you to do

It isn't that there isn't enough gas- there's plenty of it.

These assholes wont let them build the pipe to get it to customers.

Which is also a big part of why the northeast also has to buy a lot of oil and gas from overseas even though our country is now a huge producer of both. The only way to get it here is by ship.
