climate activism

From Jerome Lipani:

Extinction Rebellion Vermont swarms the Statehouse to express disappointment in Legislative non-action this session on major Climate Bills, and to articulate the Climate Science that demands passage of these bills. 6 activists are arrested by Statehouse Police, not before they announce the introduction of a Green New Deal for Vermont in the January 2020 Legislative session.

From Jerome Lipani:

Hundreds of thousands of protesters in more than 90 countries - and cities and towns across the USA - joined a worldwide day of protest demanding urgent action to address climate change. 45 minutes of Montpelier rally warm-up in preparation for nation-wide Climate Actions September 12-14, 2018.

From Jerome Lipani:

Noverco, the Canadian company that owns Green Mountain Power and Vermont Gas Systems, through several intermediary companies, is seeking permission from the Public Utilities Commission to buy out the public shareholders in Energir, the 100% owner of GMP and VGS. Enbridge, Inc. -whose pipelines have a terrible record of oil spills, gas explosions, fires and other health and safety faults- is one of the two owners of Noverco. If permitted, the buyout will increase Enbridge's ownership stake in GMP and VGS from about 28% to nearly 40%. And this could mean a renewed and aggressive push to build new fracked gas pipelines here in Vermont.
