Americas office in D.C., but there is an office at the U.N. too.

Why would your toilet not flush with the power out? No working meter?

Fair enough. I’ll bow out because you clearly know more about state energy regulation than I do, so I’ll go do some more research on a free evening. Cheers.

I tap into my water heater for toilet water...no power so no shower. Might as well use the time to drain any silt from the water heater and then flush away.

Oh yeah, sorry I didn't click the link on the article you'd have to be a moron to believe.

That's where the facts lead to in this topic right now. Which side pushed natural gas as the ultimate solution, subsidized and expanded the industry, offered rebates to anyone switching, then changed their mind conveniently as the demand started to outweigh the supply. Now after all that pushing, fracking and pipelines which are necessary to that change, are suddenly the worst thing. Disregarding that crude oil reliance was still far worse and we have no other viable solution yet. I think pushing everyone to electric heat would be far worse given the amount of production needed and what that would entail for the environment, and that's basically the only other option than natural gas.
We could have more options but the way our houses are built and the land we have hinders geothermal heat or just building underground where there is a comfortable temperature with no heat production needed.

You side with one party a lot. Strange for someone who claims to be an independent and a free thinker.

It's actually a much more complex issue which other policies have played a role in exacerbating. Most of which was done by one side under the guise of "Green" policy making and then after making several pushes towards certain technologies and fuel source which they reneged on later calling them bad after already implementing too many changes in one direction. Basically it was the reliance on natural gas being pushed then fighting any possible solution to increase the supply to our state after deciding it wasn't good. Then pushing policies for people towards newer technologies which are still in their infancy and not viable yet while punishing the very industry that they called the solution not long ago.
It's a whole lot of hypocrisy essentially and rush decisions without looking at long term side effects and failure to produce actual solutions.

Those are the new markers for the WEED dispensaries.

Agreed. I moved from CA a few years back and they have even more issues with their giant energy company than we do. LOTS of talk of making the company a public asset, but many raise the exact concerns you just laid out.
I still think it’s a better idea than what we have now, and I don’t agree that they would be able to hide a CEO making 20 million. Waste and nepotism absolutely.
Even with some waste, I think we can do better. Eversource (and most big companies right now) are running away with the economy. Record profits all across the board while the rest of us suffer, and then they cry “inflation!” When asked about their profit margins.
I’m no expert on this, but this is clearly an example of failed capitalism with what we have right now. I agree that there’s risks going too far the other direction (socialism I suppose).
