This is really simple, New England Senators: instead of banning exports, why not build pipelines from where the gas is to where your voters are?
Fox Business (2/15/22) reports: "Lydia Hu visited independent natural gas producer EQT in East Millsboro, Pennsylvania, Tuesday, where she spoke with CEO Toby Rice, who suggested the fix to high natural gas prices is increased production and investment in ‘adequate’ infrastructure. 'It’s because of the lack of adequate pipeline infrastructure,' he said. 'People need to be aware that we want to do more. Natural gas prices here in Pennsylvania -- $3.50 – well below what anybody’s paying in the northeast. We need more pipeline infrastructure.' EQT pointed to four pipeline projects that have been canceled since 2016, which could have served more than 25 million homes. According to Rice, these nixed projects have restricted nearly 10% of the nation’s natural gas. Rice expressed that people should be 'very upset' about the price they’re paying to heat their homes, and that failing to implement more U.S. infrastructure will only strengthen America’s dependence on foreign energy."
