What about water and oil leaks? Lost electronics, food products etc. The consumer and taxpayer always pay for theft and leakage. Why is natural gas prioritized?
[From article]
The bill will reduce natural gas leaks by financially incentivizing utilities to make repairs to pipes and eventually disallowing the cost of “lost and unaccounted for” gas from being passed on to consumers, including homeowners, businesses, manufacturers, municipalities, and the state.
The prevalence of gas leaks was revealed in a Harvard University study showing Greater Boston’s natural gas leaks to be more extensive, expensive, and damaging to the climate than was previously believed. The study estimated that gas leaks cost customers $90 million per year in Greater Boston alone.
