Riley Farm Rescue https://therileyfarmrescue.org/

Rescued pets and farm animals. They will take you around to different pens and you can pet most of the animals. You can feed some of them as well. Really nice and compassionate crew.

My wife hooked up an air bnb here. They have a yurt near the entrance with air mattresses. A little musty but comfortable and it stayed 100% dry in an overnight downpour.

You make a good point, and so my reaction to you was simply because everyone in this subreddit and indeed my hometown Facebook is all about Constellation. But they are only one of many electric companies, as you acknowledge.

I didn't read your other reply that including "or any other electric company". Missed that I guess.

I was just bringing up them because it seems like no one thinks of switching or doesn’t know where to start?

I said in my other comment “or any other electric company.” I have only been in Connecticut for one year so I don’t know all of the energy suppliers in the state. I was just trying to bring up that other people might have options to switch to.

Everyone in Connecticut who is not on a budget plan should be able to switch (and should!) energy suppliers.

However as I said in my other reply to you, it isn't just Constellation. They just happened to be the least expensive at the time you locked in last year. I've used Direct Energy, Town Square and a few others over the years at this point.

Everyone throws out Constellation but they aren't close to being the least expensive any more. If you missed the December pricing then it went much higher through early January before decreasing to now. Electric prices are significantly lower in the short term than they were when everyone was switching in December.

Town Square: $0.1067 for 8 cycles. Direct Energy: $0.1069 for 8 cycles.

And pricing for longer-term is closer to where it was in December: Town Square: $0.1299 for 18 cycles (months).

edit: Sorry for the snarky reply, yes lots of other electric companies available.

All the wit is entertaining but the fact is they raised the rate due to skyrocketing Nat gas prices. The heresy is that Nat gas did a complete 180 since and has fallen 3 fold. The problem is these bicycles don’t pedal backwards and all the extra money goes into their pockets They do need political pressure
