Why have we not built pipeline capacity? The price of natural gas sucks. The price of oil sucks. New pipelines would be going backwards.

The price of renewables per kWh is falling every year. Maine has the lowest electric rates in New England currently— they have a high renewable requirement and import some Hydro power from Quebec as well.

“In 2021, 72% of Maine's total electricity net generation came from renewable energy, and hydroelectric power provided the largest share at 27%.”

“In 2021, Connecticut’s electric power sector used a record amount of natural gas, with natural gas fueling 55% of the state's total electricity net generation.”

Invest in renewables, not gas pipelines!

Mohegan Sun has stuff to do before and after. Free parking. Closer to wealthier areas. Further away from the Boston market.
