Gov. Martin O’Malley repeated his outrage today over the “appalling” threats of Constellation Energy to sue its ratepayers for $386 million the company said it was bullied into giving up.
O’Malley pledged to “spare no expense” in order to stand up for the interests of Marylanders. What level of spending do you think is justified, given the state’s recent fiscal woes? He also said he would be open to moves that would help the state make electricity prices more predictable.
Suggestions on how to do that have abounded.
Sen. E.J. Pipkin, the self-proclaimed “fighter for the ratepayer,” and Republican candidate for Maryland’s hard fought 1st Congressional District seat, said the legislature needs to focus on returning the state back to re-regulating the energy market. What do you think? Will re-regulation be the answer to Maryland’s energy issues?
