‘Watts’ up with these electric bills in CT? Soaring electric bills have Connecticut residents and elected officials asking ‘watts’ up with the power supply lately? Connecticut pays 30% more than the U.S. average for electricity, the second highest electric bill in the country, according to a new report from Home Energy Club (homeenergyclub.com) Hawaii tops the nation with the high-
