Should PSNH be forced to sell its power plants?

In 2012 the New Hampshire House is voting on HB 1238, a bill that would force PSNH to sell its power plants.

Supporters say the bill would introduce healthy competition to the energy market. Opponents, particularly business and government leaders in Berlin and Bow (the location of two PSNH power plants), say forcing PSNH to divest would unnecessarily risk jobs and tax revenue.

Do you think PSNH should be forced to sell its power plants?

This seems extremely heavy-handed and an ineffective way to spur competition. Plus, it's difficult to imagine anything like this passing constitutional muster.
