I dont get why the Dept of Energy has not posted this important report on its web site. Meanwhile, I uploaded it to the OCA's web site, here: www.oca.nh.gov/document/hb-690-report-london-economics Well worth a read although London Economics punted on how to reform ISO New England's governance.

We now know that Eversource's default energy service rate will be slightly more than 14 cents per kwh as of August 1 and CPCNH's basic service rate will be slightly less than 15 cents. Those rates will apply for six months. Pretty close, but Eversource still has the better deal.

The most charitable interpretation of Platner still leaves us with someone plainly unfit for any elected office, much less the Senate. I don't think it's hyperbolic to say there are risks in putting into high office a person who keeps saying "whoops, another neo-Nazi association, I'm such a dummy."
