Regarding RI Climate Superfund bill for 2027: “I’m full speed ahead,” Boylan said. She dismissed the idea that the New York case would doom similar legislation elsewhere as “a convenient strategy to try to scare us all.”

Gov McKee's idea (& budget) to delay moving from gas to solar, wind & battery storage is the worst idea to lower energy cost/rates for RI. This report shows that not only the world but also most of the US is moving towards renewables b/c they are less expensive than gas, oil & coal.
