Energy secretary Chris Wright weighs the proposed pipeline of President Donald Trump for New York and the chances of reviving ‘Morning with Mary’.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright He said on Friday that the work on the proposed pipeline would bring natural gas through New York to help supply energy to new England, began by the end of this year.
Wright said in appearance at Fox Business Network “Morning with Mary” To think that it is “very probably” that the so -called constitutional pipeline, along with other vague pipelines, will move forward this year.
The Constitution Pennsylvania’s pipeline would take natural gas to the center near Albany in New York, where it will divert through other pipelines to new England. The project was blocked in 2020 by New York’s state when it refused a company needed permit in the middle of opposition to environmental activists.
“That’s exactly such a victory, a victory. It will reduce the costs for people in the New York area, for new England. Not just heating costs, which is a big deal – old houses are warming with lodging oil, natural gas is so cheaper and burn cleaner,” Wright said. “It would also reduce electricity prices, which, of course, would all cheer up for that, and have enabled companies in Nova England or New York to expand and grow their business and grow more jobs.”

“No one loses because of this, but silly politics stopped them a few years ago in the first round. But I think it is very likely that these pipelines will be under construction before this year is over,” Wright said.
The Williams Executive Director Alan Armstrong, whose company was forced to withdraw the project in 2020, said the project could return to the table last month – but only if regional governors support.
Wright’s comments come in front of a meeting between the president Donald Trump And New York rules Kathy Hochul, Democrats.

Trump added in these remarks that the pipeline will save households in New York And the new England thousands of dollars of energy costs after it is operational.
“This will be reduced – the most expensive energy, almost in the world, is in Nova England, because they have no way to get it there because it was held by New York. And the whole new England, Connecticut, and New York, energy prices go through the roof,” Trump said.

“This pipeline will save, per family, $ 2,500 on heating only and another $ 2500 on everything else. So energy, just a simple pipeline that passes through an area that is not a rich area, is actually a very bad area, with excellent jobs and everything else,” he added.
