Walter Wingate for Myself Newfields Please support this bill which helps Nh rate payers. | Newfields | Support | 52 | Jan 27, 2026 | |
Gabriele Lieberg for Myself Newfields This bill is the result of a significant review process with its recommendations for updating RGGI. Please do not send NH backwards especially since RGGI has helped people with their electric bills. We already have such high electric bills (and property taxes.) Clean energy is cheaper energy and we should pursue it like the rest of the world is doing! | Newfields | Support | 355 | Jan 27, 2026 | |
Robert Drysdale for Myself Hanover RGGI has driven the region' s transition to cleaner sources of electrical generation. Most of the carbon allowance proceeds are rebated to customers, so withdrawing from RGGI would actually only result in our electric rates rising. | Hanover | Support | 232 | Jan 27, 2026 | |
Donna Tully for Myself Littleton I support this bill on principle for the good of NH voters regarding greenhouse gases. | Littleton | Support | 86 | Jan 27, 2026 | |
Hannah Meiselman for Myself Machester RGGI delivers direct benefits to ratepayers through energy efficiency, cost savings, and emissions reductions while advancing public health and climate resilience for New Hampshire communities. | Machester | Support | 193 | Jan 27, 2026 | |
barbara mcilroy for Myself hanover I like to see NH working with its neighboring states. I like that the bill retains the NH Saves so buyers can choose the most energy efficient products I like to see NH doing positive things for all of its citizens and for the future | hanover | Support | 243 | Jan 27, 2026 | |
Ann Shedd for Myself KEENE Please support NH's continued participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) . RGGI has been a powerful driver of the region’s transition to cleaner sources of electrical generation. A small portion of the proceeds help fund NH Saves. and its residential and commercial energy efficiency programs: who's to argue with efficiency?? Most of the carbon allowance proceeds are rebated to customers, so withdrawing from RGGI would actually only result in our electric rates rising | KEENE | Support | 491 | Jan 27, 2026 | |
Janet Flanders for Myself Hanover Despite what our federal government is promoting, clean energy is needed. | Hanover | Support | 74 | Jan 27, 2026 | |
Barbara Callaway for Myself Hanover We need to remain a part a part of RGGI. Withdrawing would in fact only raise our electric rates! | Hanover | Support | 98 | Jan 27, 2026 | |
