Doesn't matter. People did and nothing happened. People showed up to the committee hearings on the recent gun control and nothing happened. The assholes in the statehouse will do as they like regardless of what we do/say.

The decision wasn’t made by the state house, it was made by the PUC. The PUC does not have the ability to force RIE to sell electricity at a loss, which is what the people who showed up wanted them to do. The rate increase was approved because natural gas prices increased, so the cost of generating electricity increased by a defined, calculable amount.

On that I don't/won't disagree with you. but the point still stands about the assholes in the statehouse.
