Every Winter, New Englanders face the reality of soaring gas and energy costs. We pay on average 36% more for gas and 58% more for electrical power. We are also particularly susceptible to price hikes during global conflict, and New England has been described as an “energy island."
This is due to a lack of pipelines, poor federal support, and bureaucratic policies like the Jones Act.
Despite paying more than our fair share in taxes to the federal government in comparison to other regions, we consistently get less in return. In the near future this could lead to blackouts in large sections of rural New England, endangering thousands in the winter months.
We need to pull out of the Union, broker our own deals, build our own ports, and generate our own natural & renewable energy with a focus on building a self-sustainable New England--one that can thrive no matter what is going on in DC or across the globe.
