It sounds like there’s a heated debate over the rising electric bills in Delaware. The Senate Environment, Energy and Transportation Committee meeting brought out some strong opinions from both lawmakers and the public.
State Senators Eric Buckson and Brian Pettyjohn seem to be pointing fingers at green energy mandates, arguing that the push for renewables like solar and wind is premature.
Pettyjohn’s comment about being “forced” into renewables before the infrastructure is ready echoes a common concern about balancing sustainability with affordability.
Meanwhile, Senator Kyra Hoffner put Delmarva Power on the spot, pressing them for real answers beyond their repeated claims that high usage and rate increases are to blame.
And with over two dozen Delawareans speaking out, it’s clear the public is feeling the pressure from these soaring bills.
