Rell Wants To Include Rebates In Emissions Plan

Connecticut is just weeks away from implementing a sweeping plan to cut power plant emissions, and most agree that effort will mean higher energy costs to consumers.

But with electricity and gasoline prices already shooting upward, Gov. M. Jodi Rell now wants to blunt the impact on homeowners and businesses by building rebates into the plan.

That may sound good, but opponents of the idea said it actually undermines the effort to combat global warming and could harm consumers in the long run. Not only that, they say, Rell's proposal could violate the very law she signed in 2007.
