Letter: Committee leaders back bad energy bills

For anyone watching House Science, Technology and Energy Committee meetings in recent weeks thanks to Zoom, it’s been a tough show to watch.
Rep. Michael Vose, the chair, and Rep. Michael Harrington, the wing man, appear to be intent on pushing through bad energy bills that would take New Hampshire backward in terms of combating climate change. They’re also working to kill good energy bills.
Neither representative speaks about the science of climate change and the urgency of addressing it – other than to mock this. They don’t talk about green jobs, and the cost savings to towns, homeowners, and businesses that come from clean energy over time. Their constant theme is keeping costs for ratepayers down. And they speak frequently about “liberty,” which seems especially odd on a science committee.

Russell Schiermeier graduated from the University of Idaho with a degree in mechanical engineering. But a decade ago, he bought a few hundred acres near the Snake River in Idaho’s high desert and began to farm. In the years since, his farm has grown to encompass more than 3,000 acres with crops such as alfalfa, corn and peppermint, and Schiermeier has experimented with carbon sequestration and cover cropping.
Two years ago, Schiermeier installed solar panels to power the irrigation pumps that provide essential water to his crops. “That’s kind of the rub in Idaho. We’ve got such a wonderful growing season.but we just don’t have any water,” he said.
