Connecticut families already pay some of the highest electricity rates in the country. Buried in those bills is a “public benefits” charge that subsidizes the Millstone nuclear plant — even though Connecticut produces more electricity than we use. That extra power is sent to other states, but we are the ones paying part of the bill.

Our state is already doing its part by hosting this facility. We should not also be subsidizing energy that primarily benefits others. At a time when housing, groceries, and medical bills are stretching budgets, every extra charge matters. I will work to end this unfair arrangement and make sure Connecticut ratepayers only pay for the energy and infrastructure that serve our communities.
