Hello and Happy Holidays! I was delighted to get an emailed alert from Google that showed me that your most recent “Progressive Action Roundtable” publication included an excerpt from CT Green Energy News—the weekly news digest published by the non-profit that I now work for: People’s Action for Clean Energy.

Thanks to you and your team for helping to keep concerned citizens informed.
All the best to you in 2026.
