In an exclusive interview with RenewableEnergyAccess.com's Inside
Renewable Energy, Governor Lynch said that the passage of a Renewable
Portfolio Standard (RPS) is a necessary step toward the energy
independence of New Hampshire.
"We've been really working hard to educate our elected officials about the
importance of renewable energy and having a Renewable Portfolio Standard
in place," he said.
Lynch also said that energy efficiency and conservation are necessary for
lowering energy costs and controlling the strain on the state's power
grid.
New Hampshire has been criticized for doing too little to promote
renewable energy, especially compared with other New England states.
Governor Lynch said that he is dedicated to integrating more renewable
resources into the state's energy infrastructure in the coming years.
