Other than this quote from Peter Shattuck, this reads an awful lot like an ISO-New England piece. Some very good rebuttals to the need for gas in the comments section. But environmentalists like Peter Shattuck of the Acadia Center say it isn’t necessary, and new pipelines ultimately make the problem worse. If blackouts happen, it’s because we’ve allowed ourselves to become reliant on natural gas, Shattuck said. So I think the important thing is to start pursuing the cure, instead of looking for that additional fix, for just one more fix of natural gas that maybe delays a little bit into the next decade when we have to get serious about kicking the habit.”Shattuck says New England can solve its problems simply by reducing demand for energy. He suggests small changes – like increased incentives to switch to energy-efficient LED lights. wgbhnews.org/post/energy-future-new-england-may-face-scheduled-blackouts-due-poor-natural-gas-supply
