This is a seminar series on renewable energy to include speakers focused on U.S. and global renewable energy programs and Vermont state programs and organizations. Energy is a major impact on society, both in how we use it and how we extract it, contributing, for example, from 30 to 40 percent of our total greenhouse gases. One way to address these environmental impacts is to move to renewable energy sources. Across the US, a variety of renewable energy programs and policies are proposed.
