I read somewhere one of the reason natural gas is a bit higher in new England is the limited amount of storage space. There are terminals in Portland and Boston, but demand is exceeding the storage space. A huge storage facility is in the works for Portsmouth. I guess there is something about Homeland Security cancerned about protecting a tanker ship presence in Portsmouth Harbor. PSNH is waiting for the terminal to happen so that they can convert the Bow generating plant to natural gas. A significant step to cleaning the environment.

I am concerned about National Grid depending more and more on natural gas. Should they be looking for a fall back such as the low sulphur coal from the West Coast or bringing on line another reactor? I do know there is a huge push to wind and solar power, but the wind turbines are getting to me everytime I travel north. There was a show on public tv about converting all roof tops, both commercial and residential to solar energy panels. It will provide a significant amout of energy.

Geothermal is popular out west where there a faults in the ground that provide significant amount of heat. We don't have that luxury here.

You will find there are govt. incentives available for converting to natural gas.
