One of the gas/electric company’s warning today… unreal

And to think we have one of the world's greatest natural gas producing regions a mere few hundred miles away, but it's considered environmentally untenable to have a pipeline, so instead we have to ship it via international LNG carriers, which are heavily favoring Europe due to higher prices. Talk about shooting ourselves in the foot.

Since a lot of it is a nat gas issue they should probably be everywhere they can telling people that if it gets real cold to turn the heat down to 60. No need to bust pipes, but if enough people went from 68 to 60 it would save a good deal of gas which could be put back into the electricity system. Doubt they'll try that, though. Now, if a few prissy folks on the Cape and Vineyard hadn't been tilting at windmills for the last two decades, we'd have a lot of extra generation power offshore for much of the cold events.

Don't forget we just shut down two nuclear facilities. That takes a lot of supply out of the grid too.

From what I’m seeing the NAM’s  wind max at 500mb comes north slightly east of previous runs, but the surface ends up west of those fixes. 

This high coming in tomorrow is absolutely useless, and odd… it just literally gets out of the way and placates this thing moving up in that weird anti-climate fashion

It's really an ISO issue since Eversource is out of the generation business.

They are extremely worried about what will happen if we get a prolonged cold snap - we actually had a call with them earlier this week about it. 

True. However they are still on the service side of the equation, and what they've done to that company is unbelievable...although the American way it seems. They are so incredibly top heavy with very few service and repair employees left.

Blame New York…they’ve blocked the last handful of pipeline projects into New England. Endless supply of gas just down the road, but can’t get it here because New York is in the way.

I am dry slotted for a large part of the storm.

The NAM is often right when it has the far amped up solutions. Refer to last December when everything had NW NJ and Pocono jackpot and NAM was correct with the Binghamton to Okema getting the goods while everyone else dryskotted to snizzle.
