The pipes largely were not to deliver gas to Massachusetts. They were traveling through and would have required a lot of taking of private land and removing land out of conservation. Massive right of way widening.
Gas prices are not driven by local things like this...they are driven by global trends. So, high gas now is related to the way in Ukraine and massive corporate profits, as well as infrastructure impacts from hurricanes over the last few years. Local prices can be affected by delivery, but not in a tiny state with tons of pipelines already.

Both. Pipelines are more efficient (read: cheaper) delivery systems than ships.
Not to say the ones she prevented would have mattered specifically here in MA though.

While you're correct that pipelines can deliver fuel/oil more cheaply than other methods, statistically there is very little correlation with pipelines and lower fuel prices.
