Hartford, CT—Today marks the start of Connecticut’s 2026 legislative session. Here’s what Julianna McVeigh, Doherty Climate & Resilience Campaigns Manager for Save the Sound, had to say about Governor Lamont’s comments on climate and energy in his State of the State address:
“We applaud the governor’s support for energy efficiency as an affordable solution to cutting pollution, reducing energy demand on the grid, and saving money for all residential and commercial ratepayers by reducing wasted energy. With the price of natural gas skyrocketing, we commend the governor’s recognition that renewable energy generation is the solution we need for a more affordable, reliable grid. Save the Sound, as a steering committee member of the Connecticut Coalition for Climate Action, will continue to advocate for sustainable energy efficiency and renewable energy policies that help Connecticut households and businesses manage energy costs and that keep our communities healthy by reducing pollution”
