Together, we can create a sustainable energy future...

We have an extraordinary opportunity over the next  year to create the energy future that is right for Vermont. In May 2006, the Vermont legislature unanimously passed Act 160. This law states that Vermont’s democratically elected representatives will decide the circumstances of Vermont Yankee’s closure and not an out-of-state, multi-national corporation. Act 160 stipulates that detailed and independent studies must be conducted and that there is significant public input throughout the process that will guide the decisions made by our representatives. We have a long history of deep citizen involvement in our state. Act 160 allows us to democratically close Vermont Yankee and participate in the creation of a clean, affordable and safe energy future.

The energy future is up to us. Renewable technologies such as wind, solar, hydro and biomass can meet a fifth of our energy needs by 2015, improve our economy by  supporting new businesses and create new, high-paying jobs. Act today to change tomorrow.
