This has been a warm winter so far—of course a long way to go....

Here in CT the price increase hits in January which presumably will not even show up until the bill hits in February.

At that point the public howling will begin....and while there are a variety of subsidies for “poor people” it is small businesses that are going to have a hard time dealing with the sticker shock.

(We use wood stoves for our main rooms btw.)

I pray that some of my FRiends here keep in mind that New England has a LOT of patriots, veterans and rugged individuals, so please don’t paint all of us with the Liberal brush.

There is deep, resistance in New England, just very subdued. Remember where Lexington and Concord are located and know that some of us still keep the flame.

I call it enemy occupied territory.

Many of us have the attitude of the old Soviet citizens.

We know that .gov is lying about everything and is hostile to us—and do our best to stay below the radar.

I agree. That’s why I always try to LIMIT my “Tough Shit” responses to people in SFO, Chicago, LA, NY, Philly, Portland, Seattle and New England states to ....”tough shit for you idiots that voted for a marxist democrat”..........you are getting exactly what you voted for.

No...only the scum who voted for it should suffer. Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.

I can’t imagine! Our rate is 7.4 cents/KWH, and hasn’t increased in over 3 years; and went DOWN the prior year...and we got a $222 capital credits annual refund in December.

Our co-op is basically debt-free, and is part owner of coal, natural gas, hydro, and (mandated) wind generation.

My electric utility sent out a warning about the rate hikes for this year. 13.3 cents/kWh. Shocking. It’s a municipal utility that buys electricity in bulk from one or more of four major grids. It probably helps that we are near Seabrook. New Hampshire exports about half its locally generated electricity, and even has New England’s only coal fired plant. The trains carrying the coal pass near my house. I love to hear its whistle in the night.

My CT town voted for President Trump—twice—and is heavily Republican.

Just telling it like it is....

What many choose to ignore is that at the state level, all the branches of government here in NH are under Republican control and they have passed and signed into law some excellent pieces of legislation that increase our freedoms and limit state government.

Live Free or Die.

I would not even trust the Hill with something likes this. As far as I can tell then they get the details wrong even on this. They are pure propaganda pushers who have an agenda. Not all states in NE have had electric rate hikes.
