Published | Video Starts at 08:40

Look, you can feel free to debate whether you want to shift electricity costs from the ratepayers to the taxpayers or you can move from three to five PURA commissioners, but these cosmetic changes aren't going to make a dime's worth of difference. We can make a difference, however, by increasing supply, especially low carbon supply. Starting with our investment in Revolution Wind, which is under construction right now. More commercial solar from Maine. You know, Maine, Foggy Maine. What's that about? Well, they have hundreds of acres of space. We can put in commercial grade solar farms at a competitive price.
