To the editor:
What does it mean to be a “progressive?” According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, progressive means: of, relating to, or characterized by progress: making use of or interested in new ideas, findings, or opportunities.
Like many concerned and reasonably well-educated people in NH, I identify as a progressive. The idea of refusing to take part in the twenty-first century innovations and solutions to the pressing problem of Climate Change should be abhorrent to every progressive NH citizen. By his recent veto of HB 365, Governor Chris Sununu has unilaterally decided that the NH legislative branch should not be allowed to make reasonable and forward-moving changes to the laws governing renewable energy. After all, Eversource would not be happy if the limits on net metering were increased so consumers could get more credit for the power produced by solar panels and other forms of renewable energy.
We know full well that Governor Sununu owes Eversource executives a hefty amount for all of the campaign funding they have provided him. In fact, Eversource has been cited as being Chris Sununu’s top contributor.
