    Cuomo orders utility to pump imaginary natural gas

    There’s been a standoff between New York City and utility company National Grid going on since May of this year. As you may recall, plans for a new natural gas pipeline from New Jersey were killed off by the state government under pressure from environmental activists. As a result, National Grid wound up imposing a moratorium on new gas hookups because the current supply was insufficient to serve additional customers. This has resulted in more than a thousand potential customers being unable to be hooked up.


    Now the Governor has come up with a unique plan to end the stalemate. Using an obscure state law regulating utility companies through the power of the Public Service Commission, Andrew Cuomo (who helped kill the pipeline project) is simply ordering the utility to hook up the gas lines anyway. (New York Post)


    The Cuomo administration is ordering National Grid to provide natural gas hookups to over 1,100 previously denied Brooklyn-based customers.


    The Public Service Commission, the state body that licenses and oversees public utility companies, announced Friday that National Grid must provide service to customers or else face “millions of dollars in penalties.”


    Previously, 1,157 customers had been denied service due to National Grid’s moratorium on all new gas hookups, announced in May.


    Cuomo is accusing National Grid of “acting in bad faith” and crowing about their public responsibility to provide reliable service. But he’s simultaneously reiterating his opposition to the Williams Pipeline.


    Does this guy understand what he’s asking for here? We’re also left wondering if he understands why the utility stopped authorizing new gas lines in the first place. Does he think that National Grid was simply tired of making money? Obviously they want to sign up new customers so they can begin billing them.


    But there isn’t enough natural gas in the existing pipeline to keep adding more service points. If they continue to hook up new customers, you’re going to see the backpressure in the lines start dropping during peak demand hours. If you look at the configuration of a typical gas furnace installation you’ll note that if the incoming gas pressure drops too low, the furnace will simply shut down for safety reasons until the pressure is restored. The same is true for many other appliances that use natural gas or propane.


    Since peak demand typically hits during a severe cold snap in the winter, what Cuomo is ordering could result in a lot of people suddenly going without heat, most likely near the furthest extreme of the gas lines. And at that point, complaining to National Grid and issuing more orders isn’t going to make the heat come back on.

    It's a Russian conspiracy.

    It's a Pirate's politics (2nd definition).

    In r-selection, those individuals who waste time fighting for [gas] will be out-reproduced by pacifists, who simply focus upon [burning], and [hook-ups]. Fighting also entails risks of injury or death – risks which are pointless given the free availability of resources everywhere. Hence this environment will favor a tendency towards conflict avoidance, and tend to cull the aggressive and competitive. It will also evolve tendencies towards mating as early as possible, as often as possible, with as many mates as possible, while investing as little effort as possible rearing offspring. Here, there are unlimited resources just waiting to be utilized, and even the most unfit can acquire them. As a result, it is more advantageous to produce as many offspring as possible, as quickly as possible, regardless of fitness, so as to out-reproduce those who either waste time producing quality offspring or waste time competing with each other.

    Does that include when everyone's furnace in N.Y.C. goes into low pressure burn mode and dies overnight?

    If history is any guide, The New York Times will nominate its journalist best denying the gas shortage for the Pulitzer Prize.

    Monday morning after a Sunday night in which temperatures dipped to subzero, there was alot less traffic out on the roads. Cases of hypothermia and monoxide poisoning saw a only a slight increase at local hospitals.

    By Tuesday afternoon traffic conditions had returned to normal.

    If you freeze to death before you go to the hospital it’s less of a problem obviously. Carbon monoxide poisoning is only a problem if you have gas. These issues mainly affect those that can’t afford a car.

    Everything is fine!
