Today, local climate justice organization 350NH Action endorses Karishma Manzur for Senate in the Democratic Primary election set for September 8th, 2026. As a scientist and grassroots activist, her campaign is running a people-first platform to get corporate money (including fossil fuel money) out of politics and to pass common sense policy that reduces costs while caring for our people and our planet.
“HB 155 would give handouts to polluting corporations instead of bringing down our outrageous utility bills," said Chantelle Rioux, Organizing Director of 350NH."We need a policy that protects people from price gouging and corporate greed. Instead, lawmakers are choosing to make big corporations and their lobbyists even richer while driving up costs for the rest of us.“
After more rate hike approvals from the Public Utilities Commission and a legislative session that slashed funding for cheap, clean energy and efficiency projects, community members are worried that this uphill price trend will only get worse.
As elected officials begin to submit bills for the 2026 legislative session, volunteers with 350NH Action launch the first edition of their report card for the 2025 session. Making their stances on the human impacts of the climate crisis clear, legislators almost unanimously voted against the interests of Granite Staters, making New Hampshire a worse place to live, work, and enjoy the outdoors.
“Governor Ayotte’s appointed Public Utilities Commission chair is more interested in lining the pockets of Eversource’s CEO than protecting ratepayers from price gouging,”
This Executive Order only serves the wealthy fossil fuel and utility corporations that poison our communities by drilling, fracking, and burning. Ignoring the climate crisis does not mean that it impacts us any less.
New Hampshire has no concrete greenhouse gas emission reduction goals or legislative-mandated climate action plans. That said, it’s in the best interest of the Department of Energy and the general public to ensure our energy policy meets the needs of Granite Staters in an affordable, safe, healthy way that also addresses the problems facing our current energy system.
Thanks to the No Coal No Gas campaign - supported by the Climate Disobedience Center and 350 New Hampshire - the last coal plant in the region is set to become a “renewable energy park.”
