Vermont taking a unique approach to smart grid endeavors

"The secretary's visit today demonstrates that Vermont is a model for the nation in our approach to renewable energy, energy efficiency, and climate change," said Rep. Peter Welch. "I applaud his strong leadership on these issues and am confident he will be going back to Washington with some practical Vermont ideas to make progress for the country on these issues."

Continued investments into smart grid programs will help every state start to innovate and achieve some of the results Vermont has with its focus on clean, reliable energy sources. This forward movement will be critical as part of the effort to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and reduce our carbon footprint as a species.
