Opinion: Pa. has cheap, clean natural gas New England needs. Why won’t blue-state Dems let them have it?

It’s just a nine-hour drive from the natural-gas-rich Marcellus Shale of western Pennsylvania to downtown Manchester, N.H. Yet, during the coldest months of winter, many New Englanders keep warm using natural gas shipped in from Trinidad and Tobago, just off the coast of Venezuela 2,300 miles away.

Why? Geography.
