Because Sununu is such a big fan of energy supplier competition, yes

It's not Sununu. Its every democrat enviroloon in NH and NE. This has been coming for 10 years.
The RGGI penny shaving scheme is all yours. You closing nukes across New England. You. Blocking access to cheap Canadian hydropower. You. Blocking expansion of gas lines. Yep. You.
Your capo in NY state blocked access to cheap mid Atlantic gas by preventing pipelines crossing NY state.
Nobody should be surprised. I figured the pricing SHTF situation would have happened in 2020, the year after Plymouth closed, but it took Biden's inflation to really get it going.

That’s not democrat policy. That’s shitty bought politician or nimby policy. I’m a solid leftist (not a democrat) and we should be going hard on hydro and alternative power. Including nuclear.

You are still on about the Northern Pass that was going to sell that Canadian electricity to Connecticut and all they had to do was carve a giant scar through the middle of our state?

Power in New England is a regional market.
Regardless of where the endpoint of the line is or where the power plant is, that doesn't mean that the power just stays in that state.
Beyond that, one of our biggest issues as a region is inadequate pipeline capacity from NY to feed our natural gas demands.
More power coming into the New England grid that isn't requiring us to burn NG to get, means it's displacing some amount of natural gas usage and reducing how bad our mismatch of demand/capacity is on the pipelines feeding the region - there's more left in the pipeline for places further into the region....like NH.

NH is a net exporter of electricity. That regional market is screwing us over.

Power grids are designed and structured regionally, regional markets are the result of the way you build those systems.
New England has a power grid. New Hampshire is not some piece of it that you can break off and have function by itself.

Did they not see the issues with ERCOT being unable to buy power?
It is amazing how much people complain without a clue about how their suggestions would spiral completely out of control.
It's a combination of lack of technical knowledge, lack of understanding of Basic Macro and Micro Economics, Populism, Xenophobia, and nihilism about companies.

Bad thing, of course it's those bad guys that we aren't. It must be them, because they're the bad guys. Oh those other bad guys half the world away? Yeah they're probably involved too. We couldn't be involved, that would make us bad guys and that isn't true. It must be them, not a combination of everyone, but specifically them. And no there isn't any concrete evidence, but who else would it be? They're the bad guys
