Energy

Vermont has some of the cleanest and most reliable energy in the country.  With the contracts with Entergy Nuclear-Vermont Yankee and Hydro-Quebec coming to an end in the near future, we must begin now to negotiate new contracts.  At the same time, we must diversify our energy sources, focusing on renewable energy sources and renewed conservation efforts.  In addition, new technologies such as anaerobic digestion to produce methane, holds great promise to address the waste disposal challenges faced by our family farms, as well as reducing cost, providing income, and expanding Vermont's energy portfolio.
