On a Sunday at noon…so you’re protesting in front of a nearly empty building minus cleaning crew and/or security staff.

Clearly will be very effective.

Antitrust laws don't apply to utilities.

Gotta get the timing and demands right, but kudos for getting things going!

Hearings will be coming up. Might be better time.

We need a list of bidders that submit to Eversource and to Avantgrid and to the cooperatives/ municipals. Might not show the bids, but will show the mix of companies - which ones are bidding at Eversource but not at Avangrid, etc We need to drill down on these suppliers too.

I’ll try to find that

So this is already up and running? Ok. Well have to go for it then, but they might want to take out the antitrust thing, it doesn’t apply. Maybe something about breaking up Eversource ( so coops and munis can run things) but antitrust doesn’t apply. -

Hm, same folks protesting rate hikes strangled hydrogen fuel cell energy in CT which led to...rate hikes. You can't have both "green" energy and cheap energy. Pick one.

But congress needs to insulate their pockets. Think about the congress!

Has it? I see no change in behavior or protocol from eversource, PURA, or the bought and paid for politicians. So how has it been effective in the past?

One could even say they’ve gotten worse and more brazen in their disregard with PURA coming out and saying their reviews of eversource price hikes are administrative and they have no actual power.

Am I the only one that finds it funny to see a group called NAG host a protest?

We were told by Lou rinaldi/ctmmpdata/gykoru to not trust you. Why is that? I won’t show for that reason

When you threatened us protesting at the capital. So he’s a snitch but you trust him. Make it make sense. This is why we just had an event and you weren’t invited.

Honestly, there's enough mercury contamination from old hat factories in Bridgeport and Danbury that it could be built in any of the vacant contaminated lots and abandoned contaminated buildings. There's absolutely no need to put a power generation facility on clean ground.

Im glad someone is organizing. In Rhode island a 40% increase was approved.

I’m saying I use enough PTO for this and refuse to give up holidays with my kids. It’s the end of the year and a new bucket starts in a few weeks. If you want to plan one during the week, I’m happy to repost it for you.

LOL! WHY? Their prices reflect their COSTS and PUC approved profit.

What do you expect them to do? Sell you power for less than it costs?!?

They aren't a monopoly. They're a state regulated utility.

What you should be complaining about is 'why are costs so high?'

EVERY single reason is a democrat failure. If it's any consolation, this has been coming for a decade. Silly you for not being aware enough to figure it out.

Here's an option: Cork the Iroquois line feeding Long Island and use that gas in CT, specifically, Mystic.

Let NY figure it out. Those fucks are why we (all of New England) don't have access to plentiful and cheap natural gas.

Yes. H2 is even more stupid than corn ethanol for fuel oxygenate.

Politicians have discovered they can create whole new constituencies by buying the votes of corn farmers and wind mill developers and solar panel installers by making access to things like nuclear and natural gas 'hard' or even 'impossible.'

Not just for NE. For PR, the USVI, HI and AK, along with the Marianas

It's a law. He can't just wave it away.

Those price increases are driven by the cost they have to pay. What are they going to do? Provide you power for less than they pay?
