Healey says she never stopped pipelines, contradicting 2022 boast

Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager

=================================

2025: “I’ve been about bringing more gas supply into Massachusetts.  You know, I never stopped pipelines.”

2022: “Remember, I stopped 2 gas pipelines from coming into this state.”

2022: “And also to oppose new gas infrastructure in this state.  We absolutely need to do that.”

    Bernie Kent, P.E. one of my related posts from a year ago:

    Boston is trying to squelch new natural gas pipeline infrastructure.

    And last week, New Jersey's governor denied most of the request of the local utility company to *maintain* existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure

    The aim is to eliminate natural gas and electrify everything, apparently by using just wind and solar.

    Pay attention, the "authorities" are trying to force *gas utilities* to shift away from using natural gas ...
