Traditional and renewable energy “at odds” in Connecticut

HARTFORD - Renewable energy producers say the state’s electricity is cleaner than ever, but the struggle with traditional power sources continues. "Renewable and traditional energy industry is at odds," said Mike Trahan, executive director of Solar Connecticut. "Both can work together for the betterment of ratepayers," Trahan said. "But I don’t see us both growing in the same direction." Trahan and others representing renewable energy — those who produce electricity through solar, wind, fuel cells or food waste — on Thursday told members of the General Assembly’s energy and technology committee that progress in reducing the state’s reliance on carbon-based energy has been significant.
