Support the N.H. SB365 legislation veto
To the Editor,
You and your readers who buy electricity from Eversource or Unitil are in for a big surprise. The $20 million / year bail-out planned for the corporate-owned wood-chip / trash-burning power plants would have been taken from everyday people through their monthly light bills.
Each electricity customer could be assessed from $60 to $75 extra per year that would go to the wood-chip / trash plant owners.
Electricity customers would not obtain more electricity for their money, or a share of stock or credit or an I.O.U.
Customers would be making a gift or donation to the wood-chip / trash plant owners.
But the governor has vetoed this bail-out plan, known as SB365, thus stopping this bail-out proposal in its tracks.
But now, the wood-chip / trash plant owners have ramped up a loud campaign to force legislators to over-ride the veto in a Sept. 13 vote. If the SB365 veto is over-ridden, Eversouce and Unitil customers will be on the hook for $20 million / year.
I advise everyday people to call and ask their state legislators to support the SB365 veto. Save your money.
