CEMA
CEMA has filed a motion with the Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA) to participate in a regulatory docket that is on a fast track to build an electric charging infrastructure, subsidize the cost of electric vehicles, and create rates for EV's. The ultimate goal is to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Connecticut by transitioning 500,000 internal combustion engines to EV's by 2030. CEMA is asking members to meet with policy makers to talk about the impact that this docket will have on their business and their employees.

The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) recently sent out a "background document" on a program that CEMA has been working on for the past two years that would create a portfolio standard for thermal energy produced from biodiesel. The intention of the program was to make the biodiesel that retailers blend with ultra low sulfur heating oil a part of a program that obligated parties (ie. electric generators) can access to comply with emission standards.

In this day and age where we live in an increasingly fractious society where you are judged not so much on who you are or on your accomplishments, but on your political affiliation, it's easy to be negative as we approach our national holiday next week. But as an industry, we do have a lot to be thankful for.

The Fuels Institute recently released a literature review of the environmental impact of electric vehicles as compared to an internal combustion engine titled "Supercharged: The Environment Impact of Electric Vehicles" in the context of the life-cycle of electric vehicles (EVs) including manufacture, distribution, use, longevity, and disposal. It summarizes results of studies on emissions reduction by EVs over internal combustion engines (ICEs).

According to meteorologist John Bagioni in a webinar sponsored by PGANE, NEFI and the NY Propane Gas Association, the most likely forecast for this winter is one that's close to normal. A very cold start to November does not mean a sustained cold winter, as last year we also saw cold November before it warmed up in December which is likely this year as well.

As the weather gets colder, the need for heating oil goes up. However, there is some fortunate news for consumers in the area. Chris Herb, president of the Connecticut Energy Marketers’ Association (CEMA), said for Norwich, heating oil prices have been lower in 2019 than in 2018. Herb said that last year, the average price was $2.83 per gallon. Now, it’s $2.79 per gallon. He this was due to increases in crude oil reserves. However, Herb said that the prices of heating oil can be hard to predict, due to it being a commodity.

Recently, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont debuted a new transportation funding plan called CT2030. Lamont’s plan is designed to generate $21 billion for infrastructure improvements using a combination of federal funding, borrowing, and tolling on both passenger and commercial vehicles starting in 2023.

It was near the beginning of the now-infamous, closed-door meeting with Senate Democrats when it became clear that Gov. Ned Lamont’s plan for 14 highway tolls was going to crash at the hands of his own political party. The scene in the afternoon in the crowded third-floor Democratic caucus room of the ornate State Capitol, behind a pair of opaque glass doors and around a long table, with portraits of former Senate leaders on the walls.

Many Connecticut taxpayers are upset over the Democratic attempt to place tolls on our highways and bridges but are unaware of a back door tax that could increase gasoline prices by 50 cents a gallon or more. This plan is being initiated by an unelected panel populated by bureaucrats making six-figure salaries. They are promising to use this money to promote electric cars, buses and sustainable activities like bicycles and walking.

The AG has sought to drop two out of four claims on the last day of a civil trial that alleged XOM intentionally misled investors for years about its use of "proxy costs" to account for the risks of future climate change regulations on its business.
