So kids, what did we learn from Thursday’s House Session (06/06/19)?
We learned that it can take a very long time to get everyone greeted and seated when our friends from the Senate Chamber next door come over for a joint session in the House. We spent a good portion of the morning on 200th State House Anniversary “Old Home Day” festivities punctuated by a lovely … Read more
Net Metering: Connected Cronies Want to Rob You and Profit From Your Electric Bill
Net Metering (HB365) is a crony scam that will transfer tens of millions annually from the pockets of small business (job creators) and working families to a select few connected individuals and organizations that can afford to profit from it. And too many Republicans support it.
So kids, what did we learn from Wednesday’s House Session (5/8/19)?
For one thing, we learned that the Canadian Consul General lacks any kind of manners since he came to OUR House and criticized our President’s trade policies in his speech to the House. I mean really…. do you go to someone’s house and complain about how things are run at their house? No, you don’t. … Read more
New Hampshire Democrats Raise Your Electric Bill Again To Fund their Personal Priorities
Back around 2006 New Hampshire Democrats happily abrogated taxing authority to an out-of-state commission. This body, known as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), was granted the power to tax you through your electric bill and then pass it off to Concord after taking a handling fee.
Bradley’s Bipartisan Biomass Bailout 2.0 – Rape Ratepayers or Die
The Concord Cronyism is reaching new heights as a new effort emerges to use government to force ratepayers to pay more for electricity.
California Has the Nation’s Highest Gas Prices – Democrat Governor Has No Idea Why?
California has the highest gasoline prices in the nation. Higher than Hawaii. And Governor Gavin Newsom wants an investigation into why? Let me help. High Taxes. Excessive Regulations. Dwindling Infrastructure. Put another way; Democrat Policy is to blame.
NH Biomass Plants Ask State Supreme Court to Force You To Pay More for Electricity
Late last week Biomass energy plants asked the New Hampshire State Supreme Court for a solid. Please force New Hampshire ratepayers to pay 54% above market rates for electricity. If you don’t, we’ll have to shut down.
The “Connection” Between Abortion and Climate Change
In 2018 abortion was the number one global killer. Estimates suggest at least 42 million defenseless people died as a result of abortion. It got me thinking about climate change.
New Hampshire Democrats: You Are Not Paying Enough for Electricity
By nearly unanimous rubber-stamp consent 99% of New Hampshire Democrats, including all four from Merrimack, are convinced your electric rates are too low. You are just not paying enough. So, last week they voted on at least three separate occasions to “fix” that problem. House Bill 447 would have corrected a more-than-decade-old money-laundering scheme. Democrats added a carbon … Read more
So Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s NH House Session (3/14)?
We learned that the Democrats (the majority party) are fine with expanding dental coverage for Medicaid recipients (HB692-FN) while our State’s veterans, both able body and disabled, go without such coverage. We learned that the Majority party is only interested in studying assisted suicide instead of enlarging the scope to include palliative and hospice alternatives … Read more
With Socialism ‘New Green Deal’ Comes Standard: Venezuela has Massive Power Outages
Here’s an excellent example of how corruption and incompetence can advance stated progressive policy, even accidentally. Take the environment. Democrat Socialists in America want you to use less electricity. What better way than unplanned nation-wide blackouts?
All Aboard the Unicorn Express
So, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez finally unveiled the plan she’s been working on since the 5th grade. Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders couldn’t get it done, so the Leftists are using their new ace-in-the-hole to ride it. Oh, and with some help from old uncle-knucklehead, Senator Ed Markey from Massachusetts. The Green New Deal is the … Read more
Seacoast Luddites Consider Blocking Powerline Project – Must Like it Cold and Dark
When Granite State Enviro-wackos are not blocking paths to more affordable energy they are taxing the crap out of it. Making us pay more for it. Or, in the case of a powerline project in the seacoast, considering if and how best to block it.
Without Fossil Fuels Millions of Americans Could Freeze to Death
It’s weeks like this when you learn what ‘cold’ really means. The midwest has seen new record lows all across the region. The kind of cold that only fossil fuels can hold at bay. Assuming you’ve got them in adequate quantities. Which it appears they do not.
NH Democrats Propose New Carbon Tax on Gasoline, Heating Oil, Gas, Coal, and Wood
New Hampshire Democrats are proposing a tax that would hike the price you pay for gasoline, heating oil, propane, and electricity produced by coal, oil, gas, or wood. All of that. And, everything else. The bill calls for a fee based on the per-ton emission of carbon dioxide, starting at $20 per ton in 2020 … Read more
Eversource Decides The State of NH Can’t Force It To Make You Pay More For Electricity
Utilities, like governments, are monolithic edifices upon which waves of populist “outrage” love to crash. These sinister cabals exist to better themselves at our expense. They live to serve only themselves. And while that is always true of governments and perhaps Comcast, Eversource has done something to if not break then at least fissure the perception … Read more
Off-Shore Wind Boondoggles- NH Says Deal Me In
New Hampshire has expressed an interest in “milking” the sacred cow of offshore wind. To that end Governor Sununu recently asked the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to establish an intergovernmental offshore renewable energy task force for New Hampshire. The move is the first step in a multiyear process whose goal is to screw taxpayers for … Read more
Why Wind Will NEVER be the Answer to Anyone’s Power Needs
If you look at the complete manifold of global energy needs Wind power’s contribution is too small to measure. In 2014 (the last year for which there is data) the nearest whole number for wind’s contribution is zero percent. From the International Energy Agency’s 2016 Key Renewables Trends, we can see that wind provided 0.46 … Read more
New Hampshire Resident Thinks Raising Electric Rates is the Answer
In a recent Keene Sentinel letter to the editor, a resident suggests the new legislature stop giving any RGGI money back to ratepayers. The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is a broad-based tax on electricity consumers. It can rise or fall without any elected official ever casting a vote. And it makes electricity more expensive.
