I almost drove off the road today, when Brad Davis said on his radio show that the reason electric rates were going up was because of the environmentalists. This is the same Brad Davis that said on January 13, 2004, that John Rowland would never resign. The fact is that many environmentalists were against deregulation the power industry. The people for deregulation were the "conservatives" and pro-business lobbyists. Enron and similar companies spent quite a bit of money going around and pushing for deregulation. The sad thing is that many of his listeners take what he says as fact....
I don't agree with everything in the following links - but they do point a finger at Rowland - who Davis thinks could do no wrong...
Green Party Candidate article on Deregulation
Hartford Advocate Article
Another Green Party article
Here is a local story from 2000 - note the last paragraph
