The utilities are making billions in profits last year alone and ratepayers are struggling. Utilities have done this while seeking massive rate increases on customers. National Grid, Eversource, Berkshire Gas, Liberty Gas, they've all proposed rate increases in the past year alone, some as high as 55%. That's outrageous. We can't have it. People can't afford it.
