Rhode Island House urges Governor Daniel McKee to support natural gas pipeline expansion to stabilize energy prices.

The Rhode Island House of Representatives urges Governor Daniel McKee to support expanding natural gas pipeline capacity in New England to stabilize energy prices and reduce supply risk. The resolution highlights the need for regional cooperation among New England Governors to address high energy costs and improve reliability. Rhode Island, which imports nearly all its natural gas, experiences significant spikes in demand during winter, leading to reliance on costlier, dirtier fuels when pipeline capacity is reached.
