Why we checked itAyotte claims the opponent's energy plan is more aggressive than California's and Massachusetts's, and that Massachusetts has higher energy rates than New Hampshire — specific comparative claims that are verifiable.
What we foundAyotte was describing Warmington's net-zero 2040 energy plan. California's target is net-zero emissions by 2045 and Massachusetts's is 2050, so a 2040 target is earlier than both, as Patch also reported for Massachusetts. EIA data for March 2026 put average residential electricity prices at 30.21 cents per kilowatt-hour in Massachusetts and 26.92 cents in New Hampshire.
CorrectedCorrection: Originally rated Overstated. Rating changed to Supported following post-debate review: the claim is about Warmington's net-zero 2040 energy plan, not abortion law. California's target is 2045 and Massachusetts's is 2050, and Massachusetts's electricity rates are higher than New Hampshire's. The summary was rewritten to match.
