"According to The Nature Conservancy, the REF 'has been utilized to fund nearly 10,000 rebates for renewable energy systems to New Hampshire homeowners, businesses, schools, towns, non-profit organizations, and other eligible entities.' This bill would instead use those REF funds for insignificant, short-term savings on energy bills. The real question is why the Dept of Energy allowed over $20M of funds to accumulate rather than spend them on the energy projects they were intended for, which reduce energy bills and increase energy independence for communities throughout the state" - The New Hampshire Network for Environment, Energy, and Climate
