And Connecticut is even higher. Connecticut has the second highest rates in the nation. I live less than 2 miles from the RI border. My friend lives just over the line in Gloucester, RI, his house is older than mine and about 700 sf larger than my house. Both homes are equipped with fairly new heating units. He pays about $100 less a month than I do. So, I get it, utility rates are up everywhere, but you’re neighbors have it way worse.

Yea, I don't understand why the delivery charges were increased when all the news was about supply side issue. Seems like all the outrage was focused on that, but meanwhile the delivery charge is really what is getting everyone who uses natural gas for heat.

I find it very hard to understand why the infrastructure that has been in place for many years is suddenly costing us so much more.

Makes me think these companies are using the income from the delivery side to jack up their profits and using current events and supply cost as a scapegoat.

I've never found the portions at Italian Corner to be very big. It's still delicious and I go there all the time, but not the kind of place that piles their sandwiches high in my memory.

Full Measure just headlined this issue today -

-#1 Seems NY State won't let the industry add pipelines to increase supply to the NorthEast

-#2 They have been increasing facility to export more LNG

-#3 Russia is barred/sanctioned from supplying NATO nations

so it's easier to just ship to other countries
