However, the war in Ukraine has impacted the company\u2019s ability to get the extra supply of natural gas it would need in a weather crisis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Nolan said he has been working to remedy the situation. He offered four proposals to Biden, including a waiver from the Jones Act.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThere is an awful lot of liquified natural gas that\u2019s down in the gulf that we could access if we get relief from the Jones Act, which would allow a foreign flag vessel to go to the gulf and fill up and come to the northeast and deliver liquified natural gas, which right now we are not allowed to do,\u201d Nolan said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Natural gas shortage could lead to power outages during coldest months Joe Nolan, the CEO of Eversource, said a shortage of natural gas poses a serious health and safety threat.
