T O P I C R E V I E WCatalina http://www.ringoffireradio.com/2015/02/burlington-vermont-proves-possible-power-american-city-using-just-renewable-energy-sources/ Of course Burlington is the sunniest place in the world, right? What is the objection of the Oil companies to moving sideways into the fastest growing industry around?jwhop"As NewsHour’s William Brangham explained, about a third of Burlington’s renewable energy is produced at [a] biomass facility. “Biomass is just a fancy word for something that gets burned to produce energy – in this case, they haul in scrap wood from across Vermont, use the heat to make steam, and thus generate electricity.”Yeah, what happens when Burlington has burned all of Vermont's forests? Huh...."About another fifth of the energy comes from wind turbines and solar arrays, but the biggest source is from hydropower."Right, about one fifth comes from wind and solar but the wind doesn't always blow and the sun doesn't always shine..and never at night. "but the biggest source is from hydropower."Yep and hydro is at the top of radical elitist environmentalist's hit list. Got to save snaildarters and variegated mugwarts!! So tell me, since radical elitist environmentalists sue over every plan to build a hydroelectric power plant...when was the last hydroelectric power plant built in the United States? CatalinaThey are not burning forests sweetie.Nor is the need for an environment a radical notion. Lmao.Some hydro projects are massively destructive.. and force People to relocate and lose their homes too. Others are not.jwhopHmmm, your supposition that Vermont's concept for powering their state is valid??Well, if that's true then it's obvious we need MORE HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANTS.So, I ask you again. When was the last hydroelectric power plant built in the United States. And, since this is being billed as GREEN...why do radical elitist environmentalists sue upon every plan by power companies to build a hydroelectric power plant?Oh, it's also funny that it takes scrap wood from all over Vermont to power the biomass component of Burlington's electric production. What happens when South Burlington, Rutland, Barre, Montpelier, Winooski, St. Albans, Newport and Vergennes decide to copy Burlington and burn wood for biomass? I though tree huggers were against destroying forests.
