Shortages of gas for heating have hit the nation’s most important city: New York. Following moves by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy to nix a pipeline that could deliver vital gas supplies to the city and Long Island, National Grid can no longer offer new gas hookups or additional service for current customers. “If you’re looking to expand your natural gas service in Brooklyn, Queens or Long Island, we will not be able to meet your request,” unless both states reverse their decisions and OK the pipeline, the utility warns. Con Ed may have to turn away customers, too.

The NE USA and Left Coast deserve everything they are getting, although there are some who live there who didn't vote for it, just caught by the insane left.
Sympathy for the right-thinking ones caught, but I laugh at the difficulties of the leftists who voted for all this insanity. Chickens coming home to roost.
But how many will recognize it and change their minds? My bet is under 10%.

Both DeBlasio and Cuomo need to freeze their b@lls off this winter to show them how their policies have been such insane failures.

With a lack of natural gas for heating even DeBlasio will be praying for more global warming.

So what will people heat their homes / buildings with? Coal?, too dirty and impractical. Heating oil? Too dirty and expensive. Who wants a giant oil tank in their house? Solar? Not practical. Maybe everyone should have wood burning or pellet stoves or furnaces. Too much smoke and smog causing too much pollution and CO2. That leave very expensive electric heat. I guess the people of New York and New Jersey will either have to continue to pay super high energy costs (thanks to the idiotic DEMOCRATS thy willingly elect over and over) or just learn to use a lot of blankets to stay warm.

If only the all of the hot air from the politicians could be harnessed the heating issue would be solved!

New York state also banned hydraulic fracturing by the gas drillers. The elite will be protected in their mansions while the rest do what they must. "The powerful do what they can and the rest do what they must." Thucydides

5 years ago - NYC consumed almost no natural gas. Instead, they used fuel oil which releases terrible pollution. In 3 years NYC went from no usage to using more than the Country of Belgium.
According to Scientific American - switching from Fuel Oil to NatGas reduced pollution so much that is actually saved lives.

When did NYC become the country’s “most important city”?

PS. We lived in Seattle for a year+ some years back. Heating fuel was delivered by tanker truck once a month at a hellacious price for even our relatively modest-sized home. Quite a shock after years of low cost natural gas heating in Southern California...

The nation's most important city? Don't bust your arm patting yourself on the back while we in Texas and Florida are trying to deal with a LEGAL immigrant problem from NEW YORK.

I live in SW Seattle and natural gas did not run down my street. It was an arm and a leg to get it. But, thje real kicker was if we had a real cold snap. The gas company would actually had to truck in gas for our neighborhood, because the supply was decimated by the demand.

From the same party that took away our paper bags in favor of plastic ones, because....trees. Now they are taking away our plastic ones and very likely unleashing an outbreak of food borne illness because....oceans. The Left has taken our lightbulbs in favor of the mercury laced curly fries bulbs and has started us on the road to toxic landfills laced with mercury because....Leftists are stupid?? Now the NE corridor is setting up a really nasty scenario for NYC and NJ, because.....Leftists feelz and TDS? I truly am sorry for the voters who keep getting overruled by the Urban idiots who put them into these situations. We have the same problem in Oregon. Not enough population in the red areas vs democrat voter fraud in the larger urban areas.

So the most self-important city in the US (ah, heck, the whole dang world) has a natural gas shortage but they're all for Olivia Newton-Whoever's green new deal which would mean a natural gas shortage to the point of NONE. And in Texas it's a chilly 60 degrees in the winter so I don't care if you're outta gas NYC.

Elections have consequences. You vote Cuomo, Wilhelm and AOC into office, you pay the price. I never thought that NYC was the most important city, even when I lived up there.

" the nation’s most important city" I think not. NYC may be beloved by those who were born and raised there because they don't know any better but my short stint in the midst of all that madness was certainly my last. Business and tourist time is much better spent elsewhere.

Remember "Let 'em freeze in the dark" bumper stickers from the 1973 energy crisis. Maybe it's time to resurrect 'em.

Like a vignette from Atlas Shrugged, here we have a manufactured shortage that threatens to make "the common man" freeze for lack of heat for no reason at all.
