   In fact, if one wanted to build a low-emission truck   
   the use of methane, either compressed or liquefied, makes   
   a great deal of sense. That tech is already commercial.   
   And, methane is cheap.

   But methane is a fossil fuel and a climate change contributor, more so if it   
   leaks. The currently fashionable feel-good is to switch from gas heat to   
   electric heat pumps, ignoring that they revert to costly electric resistance   
   heating in cold New England weather, when solar provides around 10% of its   
   rating under frequent overcast.  Massachusetts tries to imitate California.

   The project is funded by large surcharges on MA gas bills.

   "For the average customer, the delivery fee is $240, which is twice as much   
   as the supply."   
      
   Also the gas utility grossly overpressurized the pipes and had to dig up and   
   replace them, for which mistake the customers are paying.

   Boston's mayor was summoned to DC and is squirming to libsplain why they can   
   ignore federal immigration laws but prosecute towns for doing the same to   
   their own overreach.
