Solar and wind dominated new U.S. energy capacity in early 2025 — 98% in Q1, and 100% in March.
The market is moving decisively. But federal and NH lawmakers are still trying to dismantle the policies that help communities benefit from this shift.

The NH Renewable Energy Fund is on the chopping block. As I told @canarymedia.com, reassigning it would undermine the state’s energy policy and economic interests.
This isn’t fiscal discipline — it’s short-sighted pandering with long-term costs.

Pulling back clean energy incentives won’t lower your energy bills.
It delays grid upgrades, increases congestion, and leaves us less prepared as demand rises.
Good energy policy invests early to keep long-term costs down.

The U.S. can’t afford to stall on clean energy.

Clean energy is growing faster than expected—and the reason isn’t political.
It’s economic.
New data shows that renewables, storage, and electrification are scaling because they’re simply the smartest investment. The market’s speaking loud and clear.

In 2019, NH laid the groundwork for a future where residents could choose to share real-time energy data to lower bills, cut peak demand, & enable innovation. That vision stalled -but it’s still the right one. Smarter homes. Lower costs. Cleaner grid. Let’s not give up.

Lowering supply & delivery costs can be tricky. But it is renewable energy & energy efficiency programs being targeted for cuts that can help control those costs, because they lessen the need for expensive grid upgrades & shelter ratepayers from volatile LNG prices.

From Maine to Massachusetts, state officials are targeting clean energy programs as a way to reduce costs for ratepayers. Advocates say it's shortsighted.
