Massachusetts's Hydro-Power Grid Failure Raises Concerns for New York's Energy Security
Massachusetts's new hydro-power grid, part of a $1.6 billion project, has failed to deliver necessary power during a recent storm, raising concerns about energy reliability. The grid, intended to provide green energy from Hydro-Quebec, suspended delivery shortly after its launch, forcing New England to rely on old oil turbines for power. This failure has reignited doubts about the project's reliability, especially as New York plans a similar $6 billion project. The situation is exacerbated by a prolonged drought in Quebec, reducing hydropower generation and reversing traditional power flows between the U.S. and Canada.
