Cost of Eversource…

DEAR WILL,

IT WAS APPARENT TO ME FROM THE VERY START: WHEN EVERSOURCE WAS PERMITTED TO TAKE OVER OUR UTILITY, I THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE AN INCREASE IN MY ELECTRIC BILL. IT IS ALWAYS SO. BUT WHEN MY RECENT BILL ARRIVED IT EXCEEDED ALL OF MY PREDICTIONS… IT IS CLOSE TO THREE TIMES WHAT IT WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO.

WHILE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO SLOW DOWN ANY REASONABLE ACCOMODATION TO THE ENERGY NEEDS, PRESENT AND FUTURE, OF OUR PART OF THE WORLD, THE UTILITY INDUSTRY IS GOBBLING UP ALL PRODUCTION, AND BORROWING LOTS OF MONEY TO DO SO.

OF COURSE, THEY NOW HAVE LOTS OF INTEREST PAYMENTS, SO THEY COME TO US, THEIR CUSTOMERS, TO HELP OUT. HOWEVER, SINCE IT ISN’T AS IF WE HAD ANY OTHER PLACE TO GO, I HAVE TO CONCLUDE THAT OUR LEGISLATURE, STATE ADMINISTRATION AND ALL RELEVANT AGENCIES ARE COMPLICIT WITH THIS PLAN. OTHERWISE, THEY WOULD BE EXPLAINING JUST WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND. AT THE VERY LEAST, ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR PART IN IT. I AMY NOT HOLDING MY BREATH FOR ANY APOLOGIES.
