New England could build a natural gas pipeline with the money saved on electricity price spikes due to supply constraints during the recent cold spell
The recent three-week cold snap from January 18 to February 8, 2026, starkly exposed New England’s vulnerability to natural gas pipeline constraints. Wholesale locational marginal prices (LMPs) in ISO New England soared, with peaks exceeding $660/MWh on days like January 27 amid repeated grid alerts and emergency actions. Actual average LMPs during the period likely hovered around $180/MWh or higher, driven by Algonquin Citygate gas prices spiking dramatically due to constraints…

Wake up Maine, wake up Maine voters: The 'Hype Phase' Of Wind And Solar Is Over
Wednesday, Feb 04, 2026 - 05:00 PM
And many states, particularly those run by Democrats, have regulations in place that require or incentivize utilities to buy wind and solar power over gas, coal, and nuclear.
However, even in those states that favor them, wind and solar energy are running up against two major hurdles: reliability and cost.
There are also additional costs to build new distribution lines to transmit electricity from the often remote…

"The economics were unforgiving. PJM Interconnection selects the lowest-cost generators to meet demand. If Pennsylvania plants were forced to shoulder the added cost of carbon allowances(from RGGI) while Ohio and West Virginia plants were not, Pennsylvania would lose bid after bid. “Why would you site a facility here and pay a carbon tax when you can go next door?” Henderson asked. “Eastern Ohio saw development. West Virginia saw development. Pennsylvania did…

A Showdown: US DOE Versus RGGI
Who wins this showdown determines if the Democrat's affordability issue is real or fake. RGGI wants to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. The U S Department of Energy wants electricity to flow without roadblocks from carbon dioxide restrictions.
Something has to give.
Natural gas plants which supply New England with 50% of its electricity will be forced to retire if RGGI continues.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
