Officials are cutting back how many lake trout are released annually into Lake Champlain after finding, for the first time in decades, sustained successful reproduction in the species — exciting news for biologists and anglers alike.
This week a majority of Progressive Democrats will ignore their constituents in order to override the reasonable and considerate veto of the most popular governor in the country so that they can pass the most unpopular piece of legislation in Vermont in nearly 20 years.
The claim that S.5 is just another study is incorrect. This is clearly a major step to implementing a carbon tax on those businesses and households that cannot easily convert to fossil free heat.

Scott released a video Saturday morning on social media urging Vermonters to contact their legislators to ask them to vote to sustain his veto of the bill. This push comes as Democrat Party leadership appears to be rushing the override vote.
“Planet of the Humans” chronicles the environmental movement and the controversial role of renewables. Vermont has a starring role. The film is a must-see for all as we work to engage honest conversations in order to achieve real environmental justice in Vermont.
What this portends, given our current policy prescriptions, is that Vermont will spend the next decade and a half converting our oil furnaces to electric heat pumps, our gas stoves to electric induction, and our internal combustion engine vehicle fleet to EVs, only to see the cost of electricity explode when our contract with Hydro-Quebec expires.
Film director Jeff Gibbs came to Essex last month to discuss the showing of his film “Planet of the Humans,” a critique of the green industry.
“The risk to Vermonters and our economy throughout the state is too great; the confusion around the language and the unknowns are too numerous; and we are making real and measurable progress reducing emissions with a more thoughtful, strategic approach that is already in motion.”
Sibilia thereby insidiously diverted attention away from the revelation that S.5 is not about solving global warming, while simultaneously invoking another cause.
