The governor and the utility have been fighting for months over a proposed pipeline and a moratorium on new gas hookups.

1) Generating energy requires inputs to produce said energy.
2) In the case of National Grid, that input is Natural Gas.
3) Natural Gas is a gas and thus needs its entire supply chain from production to final use pressurized. This makes the only method of transporting natural gas that makes all that much sense a pipeline.
4) Pipelines have a maximum capacity.
5) Your government denies permits to build new pipelines and thus there is no increase in capacity.
6) The natural gas supplier thus decides that they already have the largest customer base that they can realistically support and so refuse to take on new customers.
7) You bitch about #6, in the process proving your ignorance of #3, despite it being the only realistic outcome.

Newsflash, if you want more of the US's energy needs to be met via natural gas then you must build out the pipeline infrastructure to allow that to occur. There is a reason that trillions of dollars in private investment have poured into NatGas pipelines and infrastructure over the past decade; and it isn't because investors like spending tons of money on pipelines.
