Same reason NH folks shot down the high volume gas pipeline that was to cut through Mason/Nashua/Husdon/Pelham to get gas into Dracut MA, because MA towns did not want to gut through their own land.
That wasn't a real good project for anyone. The pipeline was ultimately designed to provide for the exporting of gas, and not local consumption - at least the pipeline that was originally going to go through Northern Mass.
