Opinion: New York and New Jersey need natural gas

President Trump’s plan to kick-start the 124-mile Constitution Pipeline between Pennsylvania and New York is a much-needed breath of fresh air for energy customers in the Northeast. Natural gas prices soared in New York over the winter, with many parts of the state seeing rates close to $20 per million British thermal units in January and February. In Pennsylvania, by contrast, prices averaged just over $3 per million Btus. That price difference is a function of New York’s misguided environmental policies.
