Managing Connecticut's Energy Costs
Current Problems
- Connecticut residents pay nearly twice as much for electricity as residents in neighboring states
- Nuclear power plant restriction - years ago there were 4 plants, now we have only 2
- Supposedly "clean" alternatives have limited electricity output, forcing inflated prices for inadequate supply
- People and businesses are fleeing our state due to these inflated costs, thus lowering the tax base!
What will Kathy do?
- Push for revival of nuclear power
- Promote clean energy sources that have high output and low cost
- Work to reduce the state gasoline tax
