How much territory would need to be covered by solar facilities if Vermont actually did get 75% of its energy from that?

Of course solar towers burn birds and wind chops them up, but who’s keeping score.

In winter, the whole state could be one giant solar panel, and it wouldn't be enough.

We already get nearly that amount from renewables, it’s called Hydroelectric and it has powered most of this state since Rural Electrification.

Vermont is far enough north that solar is a stupid idea, unless they can make it two or three times more efficient
