It’s hard to imagine, but the Attorney General of our 15th largest state, Massachusetts, supposes Russian LNG shipments to Boston are better than pipelines.

One would have thought she would have obfuscated to avoid the embarrassment of having to admit her anti-gas, anti-pipeline campaign had cleared the way for Russian LNG to come to Boston. But, no, Maura Healey, the elected Attorney General of Massachusetts, says this (emphasis added):

“LNG is a more efficient and economical way to  meet energy needs during instances of high winter demand than building high-risk and costly pipelines that are  not needed to maintain reliability,”

What? You have needs, but no needs? Talk about doublespeak. What, in the name of George Orwell, is going on with Maura Healey? Is she colluding with the Russians? Or, is she colluding with someone else?

Read that statement again. She does avoid the adjective “Russian” but she boldly declares a preference for Russian LNG over pipelines she says are too costly (false) and high-risk (also false). By ‘high-risk” she means, of course, to the climate:

“Continuing to rely on pipelines is too risky for ratepayers and our climate.”
