2022 NH Governor's race: on Energy & Oil


Tom Sherman: Expand our investments in renewable energy sources

Rising energy costs are hurting many families as they struggle to fill up their tanks and heat their homes. New Hampshire must expand our investments in renewable energy sources and energy efficiency measures that will lower long-term costs, protect our climate, and create new jobs. The climate crisis is here. We must take aggressive action at the local, state, and federal level to protect against rising sea levels on the coast and the damaging impacts to our winter tourism activities.

Chris Sununu: Renewables don't lower energy costs; look at your bill

Sununu's veto of numerous Democrat-backed bills related to renewable energy also came up in the NHPR debate. [Democratic nominee Tom] Sherman argued that the state would have lower energy costs if it more aggressively embraced renewable energy, but Sununu flatly rejected that idea.

"This idea that renewables, all renewables, lower your energy costs is completely wrong, like beyond wrong. It's all on your bill," Sununu said. "So there has to be a transition, but it has to be at the right pace."
