Vermont's Energy Storage Goal: Powering the Green Mountain State's Future
when most people think about energy innovation, they picture shiny solar farms in California or Texas wind turbines stretching to the horizon. But here in Vermont, we're quietly rewriting the playbook on energy storage. The state's 2030 energy storage goal isn't just bureaucratic box-ticking; it's about keeping the lights on during nor'easters and preserving our maple syrup operations through blackouts. Seriously, who wants interrupted pancake breakfasts?
