Why natural gas from Putin's Russia has to be imported to New England

..."Earlier this year, New England — located just a few hundred miles from the Marcellus Shale, one of the world’s largest natural gas fields — was forced to import a cargo of Russian liquefied natural gas. This was necessary because anti-energy activists have convinced local elected leaders to block new energy infrastructure, including pipelines that could bring American gas to the region. This is making households in the Northeast more dependent on imported energy, and forcing them to pay among the highest energy bills in the country."...

"while the state’s attorney general thinks Russian LNG is better for the climate than piping in American fuel."
The idiots of the global warming rear their ugly heads again.
So, a country with less epa or pollution restrictions than the US has can produce the gas, and transport it how many thousands of miles via ship and save the planet??? Are you shitting me?

The goofiest part of this is that our esteemed Congresscritters screwed us royally years ago with the Jones Act, the requirement that all goods moving from one US port to another had to be on a US-flagged vessel. Due to multiple reasons, most having to do with crew costs and liability, there is no such thing as a US-flagged LNG vessel that could get a load in Houston and take it to Boston. Throw in the decisions by the other political critters described in the article and you'd begin to think the shoe is on the wrong foot since these people are supposed to working for those who elected them. But that's tin-foil hat crazy thinking, right???
