Winter is the big issue in Mass right now. Not enough natural gas supply to keep gas plants and heating customers satisfied in cold snaps, so they fire up the diesel generators during cold snaps greatly increasing costs. I believe the last coal plant in Mass. is scheduled to be shut down this fall with nothing built to replace it, might get interesting in Mass. unless someone comes to their senses.
