If more pipeline capacity is built, maybe GDF Suez will figure out a way to restructure the long-term Mystic Power contract to buy imported LNG landing at Everett (they own both facilities). It really makes no economic sense to import expensive LNG with cheap pipeline gas available. Might need some out-of-the-box thinking from regulators to make that happen. Likely new pipelines will also mark the death-knell for the two other local LNG deep-water import facilities currently mothballed.

Among other things, in the first article of your post, this caught my attention: <"New England is losing out" on a natural gas "boom" that is going on elsewhere in the country, said Patrick Woodcock, the director of the Maine Governor's Energy Office. "We've had companies looking at Maine, and when they sharpened their pencils and looked at the energy costs, they say, 'No thank you. We're going where there's lower energy costs,'" he said.> Think the low cost producer states AND adjacent states with reasonable state taxes and regulatory regimes are going to capture a lot of business - of all types - from the NIMBY states. R.E. values in the former are likely to strengthen while values in the latter will stagnate - over time - baring a prolonged increase in inflation. Flow from CA to TX is only one example. OK, admit to talking my book, per the above, because the above happens to be one of the reasons we bot this restored, landmark, historic property in the wet gas fairway of the Marcellus Super Giant, during the credit meltdown, in late 2008 (WV coal country is many miles to the south and east).

Natural Gas Pipeline Plan Creates Rift in Massachusetts By TOM ZELLER Jr.JULY 10, 2014 nytimes.com “They’re saying that New England is in need of gas, but I understand that that’s not necessarily true,” Mr. Jaworski said. “We’d probably have enough if we did a little conservation.” === That's right, they can shut their nukes like Vermont Yankee, shut their coal plants down, and all they need to do to compensate is turn their thermostats down a few degrees and chalk their windows. === “...To choose this section of Massachusetts for a pipeline — can you guarantee it will never leak?” Mr. Haber asked. “Can you guarantee that there won’t be a tree falling on it, or another accident? This is, like, more precious to me than the gas you’re providing.”Mr. Haber said he refused the company’s survey request... === Wow, trees falling on buried gas pipelines! That is a big worry. === Wilmington board hedges on joining anti-pipeline group By Brendan Lewis, Sun Correspondent Updated: 07/11/2014 06:37:49 AM EDT ...After the presentation, selectmen chose not to vote on whether to join the Middlesex County Coalition of Municipalities, a group that opposes the pipeline project... ...no residents appeared to have attended the meeting to speak about the proposed project... ...Of the 29 property owners asked for permission to conduct surveys on their land in preparation for pipeline construction, 23 agreed to allow the company access, four said no and two are undecided.

Despite the fact that nobody showed up to voice opposition and 23 out of 29 property owners have already agreed to allow the company access, the town selectmen refused to join the opposition.
