Lower Township - “BPU OKs Energy Efficiency Programs That Will Increase Electricity Bills” reads headline in the Herald. I’m very interested in how the Board of PUBLIC utilities justifies such a ludicrous position. Where I come from making something more efficient means using less of it, so all things being equal how exactly does that make electricity sent to our homes more expensive? No generalities, we want details. Is the word public in board of public utilities just a formality? Or does the public really get a say? If we need a rate increase, open the books and show us why. Live up to public in your name.
