It is my hope that the future of Vermont will be tied to our state being the model for the rest of the country in terms of self-sufficiency. It is my hope that Vermont will continue to be in the lead in the country for the local food movement to the point of Vermont feeding upwards of 70-80% of our own. I would like to hear what your guests think of this, about the possibilities of it and what could get in the way of this.
The goal of the workshops is to gather informed and thoughtful citizen and ratepayer input for the State and its electric utilities as they make decisions about how and where Vermont obtains its electric power for the coming decades. In 2012, contracts providing for two-thirds of the state’s electric power begin to expire. This leaves the future source of Vermont’s electricity open for discussion and examination. Choices about the future will have to be made and will weigh trade-offs among cost, reliability, environmental impact, large and small scale generation, and in versus out-of-state sources
