Trump wants to mothball billions of dollars in investment and cancel one of the best new sources of American-made, renewable energy. Trump and his enablers will own the resulting cost increases for ratepayers. We are evaluating all legal options to protect Connecticut’s interests.

Here's a giant energy company that's heavily investing in electricity. Why? As a hedge against the volatile prices of oil & gas! Gosh I wonder if there's any larger lesson to be learned from this?
