Vermont Renewables Progress Report

From Vermont Research News, a Center for Research on Vermont Newsletter

Vermont has more clean energy jobs per capita (19,000) than any other state. Our total energy is 19 percent renewable, according to EAN’s  2018 Annual Progress Report—based mostly on hydro and wind in the electricity sector. Transportation and thermal energy sectors together make up 86 percent of Vermont’s energy use and 71 percent of Vermont’s emissions and remain the biggest hurdle when it comes to converting to renewables. Vermont can provide a leadership role, the report argues. For another perspective, see this commentary by John McClaughry.
