Click here to view as web page before commenting. | Since late March, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey has called for the closure of the competitive electric supply industry, saying ratepayers who make the switch end up paying more money and businesses unfairly target minorities and low-income ratepayers. The state Legislature is now planning oversight hearings to investigate companies cited by Healey. Should the competitive electricity supply industry be shut down in Massachusetts? Yes. The benefits are negligible and to fix the industry would require too much oversight.
No. But major reform is needed to eliminate shady practices.
No. Suppliers offer significant savings if you know what you are doing.
