  1. Regarding fuel being transported anywhere. Does anybody remember what happened when the bulk plants were kicked off of the waterfront in Burlington ? I do. Instead of getting product from Burlington, area dealers had to have it trucked in from South Portland Maine adding cost to every gallon of product . Who paid for that ? Everybody, but esspecially hard hit were the dealers in and around Burlington. Fact. I could buy gas for my truck cheaper at the Evansville Trading post than I could in Burlington. I could never figure that one out ? (or maybe I could !)

  2. In addition to the hazards of trucking Vermont’s failure to permit the construction of natural gas pipelines is preventing Vermont from accessing much needed affordable energy coming from the enormous Marcellus Shale deposit in Pennsylvania. As more “electrification of everything” occurs we will need to add reliable, dispatchable generation resources to provide electricity when the wind is not blowing, the sun is not shining, and the batteries are drained. Better yet, forget redundant wind, solar and batteries and put a nuclear generation facility in Vernon at the site of VT Yankee (where transmission infrastructure remains in place) to provide baseload 24/7 power and use natural gas to balance supply and demand.

  3. “As of 2020, Vermont had the least gas pipeline mileage of any state in the continental U.S., according to a VTDigger review of pipeline data from the Energy Information Administration. Currently, pipelines extend only as far as Middlebury coming south from St. Albans and the Canadian border.” Why does Vermont dislike pipelines?

  4. i remember leaving the port of albany after loading eight thousand gallons of gasoline on a truck that every move from that point on would determine if i returned home that night/// this is a very dangerous job transporting this product////
