Energy Town Hall Nov. 18

I think it is important to understand that solar and wind are more harmful to the environment than typical fossil fuels. In the case of these so called green energy sources, the pollution during the manufacture of the equipment is off shored. When these systems fail, then whose problem is it and who pays for the inevitable clean up. Think of how many herbicides are used below the solar farms. Think of how much food security Vermont loses by converting once great pastureland and in some cases crop land into solar farms. This of course is done because Vermont and the Federal Government does not make small farming a viable operation, but that is an additional subject. Wind farms kill birds, make a lot of noise and think of the massive resources in energy to,produce the towers and the huge cement pads required. Then of course there is the EROI for both solar and wind. The investment is ultimately paid for by taxpayers in higher energy costs, and also in all the money that the state of Vermont gives to unelected bureaucrats who then make policies about energy not based upon realities, but based upon the religion and fantasies of the solar and wind adherents. Who wins? Investors who have ridden the tide of green energy and the carbon credit trading scam. It has never been shown the carbon is a problem. Carbon is necessary for plant life, and for our own lives. The atmospheric environment is so much more complex than a simple gas. The entire carbon is bad is just another example of fear propaganda. It is time for Vermont to drop pursuing it and to stop selling off valuable land to investors who when the entire green energy scam fails, will then off load the problems, the debt, the the now degraded land onto Vermont taxpayers.
