Taxpayers might be on the hook again as a local utility looks to divest itself of some property (with the legislatures help). Then there’s an election law bill that may make the definition of domicile worse (if you can imagine that). And we take a few shots at UNH because we are talking about domicile. …
Whilst I agree with Skip’s premise, that Fairpoint themselves are so bad that they are almost a reason to leave New England, I might be inclined to call this a case of “PSNH Happens”. About two years ago, a fledgling electricity broker, Resident Power, convinced me to sign up for cheaper electricity, delivered over PSNH’s …
With the recent approval of significant electric rate increases that will allow PSNH to recover some $67 million dollars a year in costs related to legislated state energy mandates (NH Renewable Standard and the RGGI tax), having this fall into my in-box could not have been more fortuitous. From the journal Earth System Dynamics billed …

I am referring to the impending rate hike …
From inception, Maggie “The Red” Hassan has been a strong proponent of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), the “Cap and Trade” program that New Hampshire participates in with other northeastern states. She was instrumental in its 2008 passing and continues to advocate strongly for this nonsensical government swindle. On her campaign website, Maggie declares that …

“An excuse becomes an obstacle in your journey to success when it is made in place of your best effort or when it is used as the object of the blame.” —Bo Bennett Wednesday, Public Service of New Hampshire President Gary Long went before The Governor and Executive Council and members of the Public Utilities …
PSNH, New Hampshire’s largest supplier of electricitiy, is looking to adjust rates to compensate for lost revenue. They lost the revenue because of decreased usage. Usage has decreased because of the economy, but that presents us with a real world truth. The implications of the liberal environmental movement do not match the facts.
