What Makes Good Solar?
Wednesday, March 16 at 7 p.m.
An Acorn Renewable Energy Co-op event
Vermont has a target of 90% renewable energy by 2050, and the path to get there is largely paved with solar panels. Recently, however, some communities have expressed concern about how and where larger solar projects are being built across the state. From a lack of consensus on the definitions of "community solar" and renewable energy credits (RECs) to siting controversies surrounding many projects, to the recent Public Service Board decision to deny a large solar proposal in Bennington, many Vermonters are questioning the solar development process.
To help address these issues, a group of experts will be participating in a free panel discussion on how the state can reach its ambitious renewables goal, while responding to local concerns.
This informative, moderated panel discussion on present and future solar projects in Vermont will include; Gabrielle Stebbins, former Executive Director, Renewable Energy Vermont; Kevin Jones, Professor, Vermont Law School; Dorothy Schnure, Green Mountain Power; and Ben Marks, Regulatory Attorney and Acorn Energy Co-op Board Director. Legislators have also been invited. Suzy Hodgson and Andrea Murray, both members of the Acorn Renewable Energy Co-op board, will be the moderators.
After introductions, each panel member will have a few minutes to answer a series of questions about medium to large-scale solar projects. The panelists will be asked to define “community solar,” RECs, and what a “good” solar project would look like. They will also be asked for suggestions on how the State can achieve its ambitious renewables goal while remaining sensitive to local concerns. There will also be time for questions from the audience. The Acorn Renewable Energy Co-op of Middlebury will be sponsoring this event. Light refreshments will be provided, and the general public is welcome. (Photo credit: David Monniaux)

David Rose: Tales of a Horse Jockey
David Rose: Tales of a Horse Jockey
Thursday, March 17 at 7 p.m.
At age 20 David Alan Rose made a decision to become a professional horse jockey. There were a few issues: he had never ridden a horse in his life; he weighed too much; and he was too tall. he was getting started about 10 years too late and had no horse racing connections. However, when you are committed to a dream, you can't let the small stuff hold you back. David did accomplish his goal and will share his story with us.
