Celebrates forcing Vermonters to decarbonize with CO2 laden ski trip to France
by Rob Roper
Here’s a special weekend bonus edition of Behind the Lines, as we couldn’t just let this little gem slide by without a mention….
Peter Sterling, Executive Director of Renewable Energy Vermont and one of the chief nit-wits in Montpelier lobbying for every policy imaginable to force you and me to cut our carbon footprints down to stone age levels because of the “existential climate crisis,” was caught on a hot mic — during a Climate Council meeting no less!! — gleefully making plans for a spur of the moment ski trip to Chamonix, France.
I seriously doubt he’ll be getting their by hitching a ride on Greta Thunberg’s catamaran, and, since his captured conversation is with someone about buying a season lift pass, he won’t be hiking up those Alpine Mountains once he gets there.
Oh, the hypocrisy! Mere words can’t express, so let’s roll the tape…. (click on video above)

Come on Roper, Everyone knows you can use carbon credits to get ski lift tickets in the alps. How else is one going to check the depth of snow that used to be there.
It’s reporting like this that causes the masses to doubt the sincerity of these buffoons. Where is Geta when you need her to cut the power to the mike. Rest assured that this mistake will not occur again.
Good thing we have relinquished our thinking to these protectors of the earth.
Sterling is just another Hypocrite, yes lets fly all over the world, but I assume he’s on one of the magical ” EV ” jets, as he wouldn’t use any vehicle that uses ” fossil fuel, ”
because it’s killing the world………………..
Oh wait that’s right, he’s just another a two face POS, he’s just like all other carbon morons, nothing more than a ” snake oil ” salesman, follow the money, apparently
he has some, as he’s skiing half way around, I guess nothing good enough in the US.
Wake up people, they only care about there agenda, your just a road block !!
Well here is a little something, called science

All should watch this video. Should be mandatory for all legislators and voters and students. For example, learn about the “urban area heat island effect” around 20:00 minute mark followed by the CO2 story (CO2 does not drive temperature change, 31:00). Thank you for the link. I will finish it later.
how to down load properly…?

It’s a good movie, was trying to get the movie to show up so you could just click play…..
Climate the Movie
The cold truth.
“Rule for thee, but not for me” has become an apt platitude surrounding the elitist and their role in manipulating Vermont’s energy into a state controlled fascist enterprise. mr. sterling displays his arrogance and hubris for all that choose to see the political theatre being played out in the Vermont legislature.
Climate Change™ has nothing to do with carbon, nor climate. It is a marxist/fascist construct to seize control and extract dollars from the uninformed.
Sterling flying to France to commune with the ancestral energy of Marie Antoinette.
Hey: According to Renewable Energy Vermont’s IRS 990 filing, Peter Sterling pays himself more than $100K per year plus benefits – which is about 25% of the non-profit’s annual revenue. Renewable Energy Vermont’s list of contributors is ‘restricted’. One can only guess in that regard. I wonder if he’s figured out a way to expense the trip to France. Maybe he’ll make a quick stop in Davos to meet with WEF consultants. Or maybe one of his contributors is paying for the trip, while the rest of us ‘eat cake’.
Maybe Nathan Wade’s credit card number is available. Just sayin’…
Excellent work, Rob!
Doesn’t Roper being a shill for the fossil fuel industry make the two of you hypocrisy neutral?
The goal in Vermont is to jump on the green energy train to open up a nonprofit organization. This guy is a lobbyist and pays himself handsomely for VT standards. His salary is over $100 grand which is 25% of revenue. Are there other employees sucking up the donated dollars? Like VPIRG, these groups beg for donations from working people then testify as experts to harm the public through scare tactics like the sky is falling and the climate change religious hoax (formally known as Global Warming). They get young recruits to volunteer to do the dirty work while the big shots skim off the top to get a great standard of living from a big salary and bennies. If you are donating to these groups, you are a sucker.
How many people did Bernie sucker to get his 3 homes and a government teat to suck the taxpayer’s money from in DC? Remember the phrase, there’s a sucker born every minute? If you need to donate something, help an individual directly. That way, your money will get to where it’s supposed to and not to the pocket of a hypocrite like this guy. VT has the most per capita NGOs of any state. NGOs are a great scam made legal by the other group of hypocrites who make the laws.
Is Rob a ‘shill’ for the fossil fuel industry, or a ‘shill’ for an energy free market, of which fossil fuels are only a part? I mean, really, Chris Whoever-you-are, you seem to be a ‘shill’ for those who specialize in calling people names, i.e., hypocrisy personified.
“How many people did Bernie sucker to get his 3 homes and a government teat to suck the taxpayer’s money from in DC?” He inherited one of them and made $2.5 million in book sales. What have you done?
As for you Jay, whomever I am. It literally says Chris right there. I don’t use my last name because I don’t want my liberal friends to know that I hang out here.
Rob is a shill for the fossil-fuel industry, I comment almost every time he does it. As for your free market argle-bargle, are when you talk about the free market and energy, are you referring to the $20.5 billion in subsidies that we the taxpayer give to the fossil fuel companies a year? That sounds a lot like socialism to me. Hypocrisy much?
No Chris whoever-you-are, it’s because you and Peter Sterling both ignore inexpensive Hydro Quebec power, the least expensive and largest source of Vermont’s ‘green’ electricity by far. If I did that, I wouldn’t want my friends to know either.
Chris, Liberals deflect away from the issue and that’s what you do here. Whatever I’ve done is not important because I do not have any political power to destroy the financial lives of Vermonters who can’t afford to heat their homes. I’m not a US Senator or speaker of the VT house but I do have a right to express my opinion.
Now as for Bernie, he promoted himself as the savior of the little people and asked them for small donations to propel his political future. He started in the 70’s as the voice for the Liberty Union Party that died due to its radical connections to communist ideals. Bernie was kicked out of a hippie commune because he was so lazy he wouldn’t work. He lived in a sugar shack with dirt a floor and stole electricity from a neighbor’s house. His history is too deep to go into here, but Seven Days did an extensive expose’ on his early years. As it turned out, he got the mine, and his Bernie Bros got the shaft. A better question from you would have been, what has Bernie done to make people’s lives in VT better?
You inadvertently described what being a liberal is like. Your friends would ban you from the tribe for seeking the opinions of conservatives. The constraints of being accepted into the liberal fold means that you are not allowed to have an individual thought. Enjoy your chains!
I remember a few years ago, when our legislature was debating one of the many energy bills. There was a person in the gallery screaming at the legislators that they needed to do something to save the world and for her kids. I did a little searching on the Internet and I found her Facebook page. She had recently returned from a trip. I think it was to France, and was looking at another trip in the near future to Iceland. So concerned that we were nearing the end of the world, but it was OK for her to get on planes. Pretty hypocritical, And the same thing with Mr. Sterling. Best to lead by example.
