Now blame Trump for gasoline prices

Welcome back, smelt, goodbye, electricity

Dissembling on energy prices is practiced by politicians and green types everywhere. Newscum and his Democrats blew up hydropower damns, shut down nuclear plants, reduced the number of refiners fron 50 in the 80s to 7 today, imposed impossible emissions for cars, banned the use of natural gas for hearing and cooling homes and businesses, and are on track to triple the use of electricity at huge cost, but all of that is going on in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, Michigan, Minnesota, and so on. “Wind and sunshine are free”, they exult, “so energy prices will fall.” The conveniently forget to mention the costs incurred in building and maintaining the infrastructure required to produce and transport this unicorn urine, and forget to mention that building the batteries to store all that 'free” energy is impossible, even while spending billions on the failed attempt.

Sale of Aquarion to CT RWA would be ‘a costly loser,’ Tong says

Attorney General William Tong urged state regulators on Friday to block the proposed sale of the Aquarion Water Company to a quasi-public utility, the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority. 

The proposed sale, worth $2.4 billion, was announced in January by Aquarion’s owner, Eversource, and is currently under review by the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority. 

Aquarion points out the obvious:

“Regardless of ownership, any future rate changes for local water customers will be a function of the costs of significant investments needed to meet federal and state environmental regulations, including remediation of forever chemicals in our water supply — an issue that Attorney General Tong and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have strongly supported for years,” Ratliff said.
