Another Name for Methane: the Microgrid for Vermont

Another Name for Methane: the Microgrid for Vermont

Vermont's major distribution utility is Green Mountain Power, and their CEO just announced a business partnership to build microgrids in Vermont. She hopes the microgrids will ultimately eliminate  the "archaic" grid built with "twigs and twine."  Actually, the partnership goal is to sell small, gas-fired Stirling engines, called "Smart Solar" engines, and to sell natural gas. Green Mountain Power is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gaz Metro of Quebec. Vermonters should not assume that Gaz Metro has their best interests at heart. http://yesvy.blogspot.com/2014/09/another-name-for-methane-microgrid-for.html#.VAnQ0iiTRYA
