To The Daily Sun,
Seven New England States? I always place great value in opinions by people like Mark Longely who think there are seven New England states. Almost as much as Barack Obama who was going to visit all 58 states.
I think the public utilities commission and the governor did the right thing by denying the proposed energy efficiency program filing. They have grown completely out of proportion ($58 million in administrative costs) and have not stepped one inch closer to market transformation in over 20 years like the PUC wanted them to do when they started.

The Public Utility Commission together with the NH Dept of Energy has published a carefully vetted report on what NH Saves, as the energy efficiency program currently suspended as a result of the PUC action in November has accomplished under its first 3 year program: $579,672,531 in benefits overall, including 503 municipal projects completed, 1,458,182 residential projects completed, 9,137 small and large business projects completed, 2,116 jobs supported, a return of $3.37 for every $1 invested in energy efficiency. It exceeded its goals for both MegaWatt and MMBTu Savings. From the report "energy efficiency means using less energy to get the same job done--and in the process, cutting energy bills and reducing pollution."
