About
Climate and Energy - Vermonters know that we have a moral responsibility to protect our kids and grandkids from the environmental, economic, and social havoc that fossil fuels are wreaking. VPIREF agrees with the majority of Vermonters who want to cut our dependence on fossil fuels and take control of our energy future using clean, renewable power. VPIREF conducts independent research, public education and grassroots outreach aimed at reducing our continued reliance on fossil fuels and other dirty energy, and instead dramatically increase the use of clean, local, renewable energy that can power a clean energy future for Vermont. * To that end, in 2018 VPIREF organizers ramped up work with members and the public throughout the year to build support for bold climate action and local renewable energy. * In 2018, VPIREF worked in coordination with the National No Fossil Fuel Money coalition to launch a campaign asking all candidates for elected office in Vermont to sign the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge. More than a hundred candidates across the state signed on, pledging not to take contributions from the oil, gas, and coal industry and instead prioritizing the health of Vermont's families, climate, and democracy over fossil fuel industry profits. In the November 2018 election, out of the 150 candidates elected to the Vermont House of Representatives, 60 had taken the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge - or 40% of the overall members of the House of Representatives. In the Senate, 17 victors had signed on to the pledge, greater than 55% of the 30-member Senate body. * VPIREF also expanded our research, education and administrative efforts to educate and promote local energy solutions in Vermont. To further educate our members and the public on climate and energy topics, VPIREF expanded our online library of FAQs on efficiency and electrification. And when several reports came out detailing the extent of the climate crisis - and Vermont's failure to achieve its climate goals - VPIREF conducted research, educated the public and got Vermonters involved in making the case for bold climate action.
