| 摘要： | A short while ago, we predicted that the Biden administration's tolerance of Jones Act waivers for Puerto Rico-even though the reasons given were spurious-was a signal that would open the floodgates for attacks on the Jones Act. Now some New England governors are exploiting anxiety over energy supplies and prices this winter to push for open-ended waivers to Jones Act requirements. According to news sources, the general manager of a Massachusetts electric utility told customers earlier this month that the electric grid has been deteriorating for years, and if New England experiences "an extended cold snap, there is a high probability of rolling blackouts" because "this year is even worse." In July, six New England governors sent a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Gran-holm requesting that the Biden administration "work with the New England states to alleviate the unique fuel challenges that the region faces, including beginning to explore the conditions under which it might be appropriate to suspend the Jones Act for the delivery of LNG for a portion or all of the winter of 2022-2023." |
