The second phase of "Vermont's Energy Future" has begun! In 2006, the Legislature asked the Department of Public Service to engage the public on where our future energy should come from, as well as what role the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant should play.
In Act 160, the Department was asked to conduct a series of Nuclear Studies to help policy makers have better information to decide if the Vermont Yankee facility should continue to operate.
As of this date, we have retained Dr. William Jacobs of GDS Associates to help us with this project. With input from various advocacy organizations, legislators, the community and state agencies, we have developed a "scope" of the project to ensure we obtain the best information for our future.
