The CHS requires the PUC must first focus on low/middle-income Vermonters who cannot afford the implementation of the CHS and they must rely on the willingness of fuel-dealers to help them meet that obligation

“I have not seen a forecast by anyone … government or private, anywhere that has told us that that number is achievable. At this point, it looks impossible,” said Toyota Motor North America COO Jack Hollis.

“Wind and solar are simply not affordable and reliable options. With over 170,000 households relying on electricity to power their furnaces, “Vermont can ill afford to double down on a failing electricity generation strategy that places thousands at risk of losing electricity during the cold winter months,” Flemming said.

The Legislature may need to return to the bitter political pill of a straight-up carbon tax on home heating fuel.

Up to $15,000 is available to repair roofs, foundations, ventilation, mold remediation, and plumbing if the work is required before weatherization can begin.

California claims climate impacts as a significant component of the predicted economic benefit of the 100% EV mandate, state officials agree.

Vermont emissions are in steady decline. The Legislature’s carbon reductions will cost $17 billion. House Speaker blame the Koch Brothers.

“Instead of spending money on Vermont and Vermonters – roads, housing, services – Vermonters money will go to lawyers and Vermont will be forced to pass destructive ‘punish and penalize’ laws as we are currently experiencing,” GWSA opponent Alison Despathy said.

Due to the closing of the solar bridge, Vermont’s solar power installation industry must either pay the ‘toll’ at the bridge, or ‘detour’ to another source of solar panels. Either way, the added cost will be reflected in consumer pricing.

We’ll have propane “as long as we have elastics in our underwear,” Anderson laughed. “So we should use it.”

A million barrels of gasoline set aside for emergency use in the next disaster will be sold to reduce prices at the pump this summer.

These solar panel fields belong with the same type of construction that they embody, not in the middle of our natural landscapes, an opponent of an industrial solar plan says.

Like all renewable energy, hydropower is at the mercy of Mother Nature.

A transmission corridor bringing Hydro-Quebec power to New England through the Northeast Kingdom appears to have been shelved.

The Public Utilities Commission ‘checkback’ report resisted by climate hawk supporters of the Clean Heat Standard has been issued – and it’s not good news for them.

A federal judge says Vermont courts are a fitting venue for the State’s lawsuit against Exxon for alleged harmful climate change policies.

A utility industry lawyer claims “NIMBYs” (Not In My Backyard) oppposing wind and solar projects have “captured” the energy siting regulatory process with their “self-interested and occasionally irrational opposition.”
