Vermont had the most environmentally friendly power source ever invented--small footprint with minimal disruption to the environment--Vermont Yankee. Unfortunately, due to shortsightedness, radiophobia and the renewables religion, Vermont will now be carved up for wind turbines and access roads. What a pity.
Remember folks, decarbonization is the goal, not 100% renewables. We need to ramp up nuclear power (and keep the plants we already have) in addition to increasing solar and wind sources. So say the IPCC, the IEA, COP21 and most climate scientists. But, hey, those with the 100% renewables religion don't care about what the IPCC has to say. Just like climate change deniers, they don't give a damn about science when it goes against their ideology.
