The saga continues.
See this post.
From Bloomberg today: as first LNG tanker from Siberia awaits landing in Boston, a second ship may be coming.
Yes, you have seen that map not less than three times on the blog. But it's priceless.
Now, Don sends me the link to this story: cold winters are testing the US energy grid. What a hoot.
The problems are only in New England. Texas handled the record demand for electricity just fine. The northern tier, Montana to Michigan, has handled the demand just fine. The only folks having problems are those who are responsible for their problem in the first place. I'm not even going to waste my time reading the linked article.
Let me know if they mention:
- the de facto moratorium on natural gas pipelines on the east coast and the west coast
- the moratorium on CBR to the west coast (Washington state and California)
- that the Marcellus and the Utica are just a few miles west of Boston
- if New England is shutting down nuclear plants before they have new energy sources in place (no, they do not)
- that heating oil is really, really expensive; natural gas is really, really inexpensive
- Bernie Sanders
- Pocahontas
- shutdown Schumer
- Hillary's proposal to ban fracking
- Hillary's promise to put a lot of coal miners out of work
- wind energy and solar energy: not dispatchable
So, we're shipping natural gas from Siberia because we still have an LNG import terminal in Massachusetts but not enough American pipeline from the Marcellus/Utica which would be more than enough energy for all of New England; the entire east coast of the United States; and, the entire EU, with or without Britain. LOL.
