SOLAR EVERYWHERE?: Vermont’s Comprehensive Energy Plan requires that Vermonters shift their energy, heating and transportation sectors over to green energy, regardless of costs or negative environmental impacts. The state wants input on its Comprehensive Energy Plan, so anyone interested in having a say in how Vermont will source energy for heating, electric and transportation needs to take action by mid-January. The CEP is part of the state’s Climate Action Plan, which is being worked on by the Vermont Climate Council, a newly created bureaucratic body that is part of the recently adopted Global Warming Solutions Act. The Department of Public Service has created a public input plan that involves stakeholders interacting with the public. The goal is that Vermont must meet “energy and emissions goals and requirements,” which include having 90 percent renewable energy by 2050.
