Thanks to the government the cost of living and doing business in New Hampshire just went up again.
It goes like this. In 2007 the state mandated that by 2025 providers get 25% of the energy they provide from renewable sources (Wood, wind, solar, etc) and that process (its called RPS, the Regional Portfolio Standard) is already under way . This Jan 1st 2009 we began the RGGI cap and trade scheme which requires energy providers to buy carbon credits quarterly whose increased costs are also passed on to rate payers.
So these government mandates are now pig-piling on top of your lifestyle, in a down economy no less, during a ten year cooling trend, all to solve a problem that doesn’t even appear to exist. How bad is it–get the numbers on the jump.
