Burlington, VT, population 42,000, now gets all of its energy from renewable sources, the first city of that size in the USA to achieve it. On average, that is. Some days they have to buy fossil fuel power, other days they export excess renewable power.
In Vermont a milestone in green-energy efforts - Metro - The Boston Globe
They buy power EVERYDAY fuzz for brains. The only renewable they have worth a damn in Vermont is HYDRO.. They can cash in on all those wind credits and subsidies and buy PAPER that says they own wind resources in Nebraska, but it doesn't provide a single ELECTRON from wind or solar on most days at 8PM at the local fire stations.
More solar in Burlington. These folks DESERVE to freeze their asses off after their wallets are emptied. Maybe they'll even turn green in the process...
