BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – A new way to meet Vermont’s energy goals could be in the works – but state officials want to hear from you first.
The Cap-and-Invest strategy would put a declining cap in place on greenhouse gas emissions and then reinvest the proceeds into clean energy.
Vermont’s green energy goals require the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80% by 2050.
40% of those reductions fall on the transportation sector.
At a meeting on Thursday night, attendees will learn about how the Cap-and-Invest program, its benefits, and its impacts.
