Vermont just ran their last nuclear plant (Vermont Yankee) out of town on a rail and now they are utterly dependent on two things: importing energy from Canada and New Hampshire, and tearing down ridge lines to put in unreliable and intermittent, industrial-size windmills that have maybe a 25-30% capacity factor at best. No more âGreen Mountainsâ for the Boys to hang out in. They are cutting their own throats in terms of energy supply and a stable economy with high paying, highly skilled jobs. Let them freeze in the dark, the stupid dopes.
You need to include fuel oil imported in from other locations.
Nearly three-fifths of Vermont households use fuel oil as their primary energy source for home heating.
