Weird they would go through with spending a billion on this after banning “fossil fuel equipment” in all new construction recently. I wonder if the old pipelines were in bad shape or something?
No, its about being unwilling to build electric transmission to bring wind and solar power into NYC. This would avoid the need for gas-burning power plants to handle increased peak electric use as home heating shifts to heat pumps
Part of the plan was also offshore wind near NYC, but Trump blocked that for now
