Please support this bill which helps Nh rate payers.

Gabriele LiebergSupportNewfields, NHfor MyselfJan 27, 2026

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!

Robert DrysdaleSupportHanover, NHfor MyselfJan 27, 2026

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.

Donna TullySupportLittleton, NHfor MyselfJan 27, 2026

I support this bill on principle for the good of NH voters regarding greenhouse gases.

Hannah MeiselmanSupportMachester, NHfor MyselfJan 27, 2026

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.

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

Ann SheddSupportKEENE, NHfor MyselfJan 27, 2026

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

Janet FlandersSupportHanover, NHfor MyselfJan 27, 2026

Despite what our federal government is promoting, clean energy is needed.

Barbara CallawaySupportHanover, NHfor MyselfJan 27, 2026

We need to remain a part a part of RGGI. Withdrawing would in fact only raise our electric rates!
