Reply to comment by john46ct in Stop Eversource - Governor Lamont and Lawmakers need to make sure that PURA and Consumer Council start doing their jobs by john46ct

CT State government does not regulate private generation. The energy supply market was deregulated in the late 90s by theState Republican administration. One thing Lamont could of done was push for natural gas pipeline expansion and get approval for the Killingly gas plant. Both of those would of mitigated the jump in generation costs we have today.

True. it was both. The vote was 126-7 and 27-7 and Rowland signed it. it was also backed by the CBIA. Its ironic that critics said it would increase rates.

Cork the Iroquois line to Long Island and use that gas in Mystic.

Seeing that NY state won't let any more pipelines cross 'their ' state to make gas available to all of New England, it seems they should be the ones who are on the hot seat, not us.
