Find Yourself Worrying About Climate Change? Are you concerned about policies taking shape following adoption of the State’s Climate Action Plan? Are the greenhouse gasses emitted inside and outside Vermont as a result of our use of energy being accounted for honestly and accurately?  Is Vermont’s Renewable Energy Standard (RES) adequate to meet the climate crisis? Is trading of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) a fair and effective way to move us away from our fossil fuel dependence? Is Vermont’s utility regulatory structure –principally the work of the Public Utility Commission and the Department of Public Service– actively blocking development of well-sited community solar projects?  Do utility companies have too much weight in creating Vermont’s energy policy?
