Reply to comment by JHolm915 in Republicans Outline Proposals to Reduce Energy Costs by IndicationOver

>You should read the actual plan not the article which is incredibly misleading.(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Mnx3ML1iKdc8ZYyJ3pxe1ufhwarVkCHi/view) It's calling for the fees imposed by the state on the energy bills to be included in the state budget and not reflected on our energy bills. It has nothing to do with any money that eversource is receiving but government fees imposed by lawmakers. It also calls for a separation of PURA from DEEP to give it more control of the situation and differentiate PURA policies from DEEP which hinder energy procurement sources. It also calls for the expansion of procurement from nuclear, hydro, and other viable and stable options. Lastly it calls for more oversight of utility companies. > >Sounds pretty reasonable to me when you actually read it. Considering so far we are just using state programs funded by tax payers and donations to subsidize the higher costs and excuse their practices as you seem to believe this proposal was about.

It's all buzzwords and nonsense.

Yes it would certainly be easier for Eversource to run circles around PURA if it didn't have all the lawyers and scientists from DEEP to contend with.

Obviously Eversource would love nothing more than to weaken PURA.

Obviously the rest of the proposal you're okay with, such as neutering the ability of PURA and the AG to enforce settlements against Eversource.

Facts state otherwise from your opinion. We are the only state with a structure like this and coincidentally one of the states with the highest utility rates. PURA wants it's independence and has repeatedly stated that it's neutered by the current structure in place, and we the consumers have seen the effects of this first hand. PURA is a judicial organization devoted to policy relating to utilities, they don't need an environmental organization to oversee their activities and add red tape when it encompasses far more aspects pertaining to consumers and our costs. How have utility rates been since the structure change happened? How much has been able to be done about it, since it was supposedly so helpful?

You should really read that proposal again and then do some research as to what it all means because your opinion of it is completely nonsensical.

I did. It's a handout to Eversource and a plan for deregulation. Damn you are gullible though huh? Or you're in on it. Wonder how come you had that private Google link.
