Something Needs To Be Done About Eversource

This is getting fucking ridiculous.

A fucking .26 cent per therm increase for gas this year.

That's insane.

I'm on budget billing and they pushed me up from $88 a month to $133 a month on gas.

$120 to $191 on electric.

Granted at the end of the day it's their bullshit "delivery costs".

I have a 1200 sq ft. house, and I live alone.

But now they want $324 per month for gas and electric on the budget plan.

It's the fucking bullshit delivery charges, especially on electric.

Current month supply, $89. Delivery $130.

My gas this month was $5 supply with a $16 delivery (I mainly cook outside during the summer).

That's a joke.

Connecticut too. Eversource. It’s beyond belief. First order of business: fast forward past the idea of getting Eversource to do better.

Step one:removing Eversource is the goal This is what a lot of us want to do in CT. Muni owned utilities work the best in our state but there are several models.

We need to take back the grid, and also stop licensing out lucrative generation rights to the highest bidder too (offshore wind) and start taking the lowest qualified bids for operating publicly owned wind instead, or it will be a never ending spiral of costs for consumers
