.@MassGovernor Has @NiSourceInc @ColumbiaGasMA requested #GSEP funding - paid by MA Ratepayers at ~$1.9M/mile - to replace the 48 miles of pipe blown out?
If so, has DPU approved? @ntsongas @SenWarren @sethmoulton @SenMarkey @MassAGO @CLF @AcadiaCtr @MassSierraClub @350Mass

If @ColumbiaGasMA has good insurance for its other losses, it might profit handily from its disaster, ~$90M from MA ratepayers in new pipeline construction. Don't let them pull a fast one. #DisasterCapitalism

PATCHING leaks comes from operating/maintenance funds - shareholders. A few k$ per leak.
REPLACING pipes comes from MA ratepayers through the GSEP program - at ~$1.9M/mi x 48 mi.
