It may be true that we are often forced to suffer fools, for a time, but what about dipshits you can’t cut loose? I refer to the New England states, excluding New Hampshire. They are all being run into the ground by hypocrats and Proglodytes, and some of their “sovereign” actions have regional consequences.
The progressive preference for displacement, the process of overwhelming the population with illegals, is responsible for a rise in drug use and overdose deaths in the Granite State. This has been a documented issue since Obama, when cartels and gangs working out of Lawrence and Lowell ran drugs up into New Hampshire. Massachusetts continues to defy logic, burdened so heavily in recent years that its dipshit governor Maura Healy declared a state of emergency and continues to defend criminal aliens from deportation.
New Hampshire just banned sanctuary cities, which adds to my age-old advice to any criminal or criminal alien who wanders north out of the Bay State. We have constitutional carry. Be careful who you try to assault, rape, or rob. You’ll likely end up dead with extra holes in you.
There is also the longstanding prohibition on energy infrastructure to bring gas into New England from the shale fields in Pennsylvania and Ohio. There has been some slight (very recent) movement on paper there, but for years, the Lefty states have blocked new pipelines, as have lefties in the Granite State. You want lower costs of living, including lower taxes? ProTip: The Government uses gas and electricity, too. A smaller government uses less, and lower costs can mean lower taxes.
That leads me to electricity prices. Yes, the raising and export of violent gangs who traffic sex, children, and drugs is a secondary problem in New Hampshire compared to this. We share a regional grid with the dipshits who want all-electric everything from heat pumps to EVs absent anything approaching the capacity to operate them. They surround us from Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, and the geographically smaller states to their immediate south. We don’t have the power plants, the infrastructure, or the time to meet these anti-gas pipe dreams. Efforts are, as is the tendency of dipshits, still underway to ensure this—no natural gas, coal, or even nuclear.
The dipshits will be living in the dark, and us with them, despite our sovereign right to not fall for the impossible promise of not-so-green energy (or at least not as far). When we’re not suffering from brownouts or blackouts, the cost of the electricity we can access will make living or owning a business the last thing anyone can afford, forcing people to take jobs and the means to pay for that electricity south and west. New Hampshire will suffer the folly of the dipshits that surround us and it seems to me that this ought to be unconstitutional.
It is an unapproved, undocumented regional compact of which we are not a willing participant.
States and elected officials over whom we have no control are driving up the cost of everything in our state because of their woke green BS.
Any energy we produce to try and lower prices would get sucked up by the grid to make it slightly less painful for the dipshits who elected the dipshits in office that put us on this path to ruin.
Signs of Hope
New Hampshire’s legislature is not totally blind to the problem and the risk. This session it passed House Bill 1690, which would direct the state’s “department of energy to investigate the state’s withdrawal from ISO-New England and other strategy decisions that impact ratepayers in relation to New England’s environmental policy.”
I expect Governor Ayotte, who ran for office supporting more local nuclear, including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), to sign it. The agency has one year to return to the legislature with answers to the questions outlined in the legislation.
Please sign it.
We also have HCR 2, which passed the House and is in the State Senate. “Declaring the development of advanced nuclear energy technology to be in the best interest of the state of New Hampshire and the United States.”
It is.
And finally, HB710. This bill, which is on its way to the governor, “enabling electric utilities to own, operate, and offer advanced nuclear resources,” with a few other clarifications, whose goal is to allow a power mix that lowers costs and benefits New Hampshire rate payers.
These are all on the launch pad ideas that undermine the left’s energy control agenda. Passing them and promoting them isn’t enough. If you want to escape regional electricity tyranny you need to keep Democrats out of power so we don’t turn into the states full of elected dipshits that surround us.
