Solar City

Tues 6/11 at Noon and 7pm When Green Mountain Power merged with Central Vermont Public Service last year, GMP promised to turn Rutland into a ‘solar city.’ The goal is to install at least 6,250 kW of installed solar capacity by 2017.

We'll talk to GMP's Steve Costello to find out how that effort is going. We'll also hear from Philip Allen, co-owner of Same Sun of Vermont, and Brennan Duffy of the Rutland Redevelopment Authority.  Send your comments or questions about solar power to vermontedition@vpr.net and join us tomorrow at noon.

Plus, we'll learn about Vermont's endangered rattlesnake population.

One in five Vermonters is considered elderly. But what does being elderly even mean — and what do Vermonters need to know as they age? I’m looking into how aging in Vermont impacts living essentials such as jobs, health care and housing. And also how aging impacts the stuff of life: marriage, loss, dating and sex.
