Fuel mix to make electricity includes:
- oil (7%)
- coal (3%)
- despite a glut of natural gas just to the west of them.

Update on grid for Connecticut / Rhode Island, from a reader:
- the current spot price of electricity in Connecticut/Rhode Island is $161/Mwh;
- oil hit 5% fuel level earlier -- oil needed to produce electricity in this country -- wow!!
- nuclear plant (1 of 3 in region) Millstone 3 is down for unscheduled repairs;
- LNG tanker just arrived at Everett with LNG from Trinidad -- despite the US having a glut of its own natural gas;
- reason for all this: natural gas pipeline expansion projects blocked
- "we" xpect years of this unnecessary 'drama'
- crucially needed transmission line from Canada - Clean Energy Connect- is now facing a "no go" referendum next autumn -- I think this has to do with transmission lines through neighboring states
