A study published by the New England Public Policy Center says that New England state governments should “take a more active role” in ensuring energy availability. The report deals specifically with the difficulties of siting LNG facilities, detailing community opposition in Massachusetts and Maine and concluding that until there is a “coordinated way for federal, state and local officials to consider all the infrastructure proposals within the region and decide collectively which are most appropriate given regional needs and community concerns … the region will continue to find it difficult to build sufficient capacity.”
