Cybersecurity is a buzzword we’ve all heard, but what does it exactly entail? What is the state of digital security at the start of 2023, and how can the average person best protect themselves against cyber threats?

Soaring electricity bills are seriously hurting our pocketbooks. This fall, the National Grid warned that New England consumers could see a 64% increase in electricity rates this winter. Eversource New Hampshire customers are now paying 22 cents per kilowatt hour for default service. This is more than double the previous rate. What is the solution to this escalating problem? We will explore some options in the works in Hudson, as well as other communities in the state, called “Community Power.” This idea bands together New Hampshire towns and cities to increase their purchasing power and lower costs. For this episode of Get Tech Smart, we talk to Craig Putnam, the director for the Hudson NH Electric Aggregation Committee; Brett Gagnon, a former board of selectmen liaison for Hudson; and Henry Herndon, a consultant with the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire. Will these efforts lower your electricity costs?
