From the Cautious Optimism Correspondent for Economics and
other Egghead stuff
During this week's US-Russia Helsinki summit a Russian
journalist asked a pointed question to President Trump about his proposal to
replace Russian natural gas in Germany with American natural gas--noting that
"the U.S. even had to buy Russian natural gas for Boston."
In his answer Trump unfortunately didn't explain the
domestic politics behind the Boston natural gas problem.
Namely, that Boston's deep blue state government and
Attorney General have publicly voiced their preference for imported Russian
natural gas over domestic energy delivered via pipeline, and have incorporated
that preference into Massachusetts state policy that makes them dependent on
energy imports from Russia.
One could only hope he would have made Massachusetts a star
on the world stage.
