The UK’s gas problems might just result in some within our own borders, according to author Guy Mitchell.
Over the past few months, Europe has been struggling to keep its natural gas resources flowing, despite being cut off from Russia with its war within the Ukraine. But now its struggles could have an effect on at least one region within the United States.
A new report from Fox Business indicates that New England could soon be having blackout issues leading into what could be a very cold winter. Apparently the state’s producers are in a struggle to keep up its supplies of liquefied natural gas, since its reliance on natural-gas imports runs smack dab into European countries trying to vie for similar shipments.
ISO New England Inc., the region’s power-grid operator, has already warned that blackouts may occur in an effort to keep electricity supply and demand from going too far off balance. Severe weather may also play a part, with an increased cost for gas deliveries as a result.
“The most challenging aspect of this winter is what’s happening around the world and the extreme volatility in the markets,” said Vamsi Chadalavada, the grid operator’s chief operating officer, to Fox Business. “If you are in the commercial sector, at what point do you buy fuel?”
Here to speak with us now about this potential issue is Guy Mitchell, the author of Global Warming: The Great Deception – The Triumph of Dollars and Politics Over Science and Why You Should Care. Having previously written op-eds like The Deindustrialization of the European Union, his expertise is certainly welcome here.
Q&A:
- You’ve been talking about Europe’s power struggles for some time, and now it looks like it’s affecting the U.S. to some effect. Could they potentially tap into other regions if things don’t work out in New England? Or do they even have that choice?
- In your book, Dr. Roy Clark made this statement: “When will you be forced into energy poverty where you must choose between food or winter heat for your house? The 2021 winter power failures in Texas are just a foretaste of what lies ahead.” How scary is this statement when it relates to the citizens of New England, as well as other affected regions?
- Do you think states have learned from what took place in Texas last year? Or are there some struggling to still keep up in the face of potential gas issues?
- Is there a potential solution that would work for both New England and Europe in terms of gas availability? Or will they strain trying to make sure supply and demand is met on both their ends?
- Given that the gas situation is currently going the way it is – coinciding with Biden’s potential push for an alternate energy solution – what effect do you believe it will have in 2023? Will consumers be paying a more significant price as a result?
- Tell us more about your latest book, Global Warming: The Great Deception – The Triumph of Dollars and Politics Over Science and Why You Should Care, and why it’s such a relevant read right now in the face of a potential energy crisis.
