HARTFORD — Consumer groups and environmental activists are asking Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to veto a bill that would allow the Millstone Nuclear Station to compete in a program that was intended to support Connecticut’s young solar and wind-power industries. The bill, which passed the House in a narrow, 75-66 vote on Thursday following the debate and vote on the controversial state budget, passed the Senate last month 23-8. Both bills now sit on the governor’s desk, with a deadline for his action by Wednesday. “There is no need for this bill,” said John Erlingheuser, advocacy director for the AARP, which has been fighting what it calls a giveaway to a secretive corporation, Dominion Energy Inc., over the last two years.
