Energy / Electricity

As you know Connecticut has the highest electricity rates in the Northeast. Obviously we must continue to make sure that we are not burdened with costs that should properly be born by somebody else, but we must not shortchange the long term reliability of the distribution grid.

Failure in this area can be expensive for business to endure or make provision for. I support an expanded state effort to subsidize solar power installations particularly in commercial buildings, since solar cells produce the most power precisely when and where it is needed most, that is on hot summer afternoons
and save money by reducing the strain on the grid when it would be otherwise stretched to the limit and liable to fail.
