VCE is beginning a new series where we will be blogging regularly about activities surrounding wind development in Vermont.  A lot is happening, and while there has been some press nowhere near enough of the story is being told.

Thousands of Vermonters are now being impacted by the way Vermont is going about developing wind.  In upcoming posts we will be shining sunshine on details you have not been reading in the newspaper. Check back regularly.
