The "flaws" in the market that Entergy is complaining about are that nobody wants them here, so nobody is giving them preferential treatment, whereas we are giving solar, methane and wind preferential treatment, generally on a voluntary basis.

This is a blatant lie.The government of Vermont imposed punitive tax increases which, combined with lower costs of hydrocarbons, made business in the state unprofitable. And not only does Vermont subsidize solar panel installs for businesses, it mandates energy providers purchase renewable energy at above market rates, raising utility bills relative to home solar installations. Your talk of voluntary preferential treatment is just absolute nonsense.

Your idea negates the whole idea of representative government. Hopefully, we elect wise, thoughtful, and honest representatives to do the hard work of legislating so that we don't have to.

No, there is genuine potential. Ironically that potential is partially demonstrated by water wells.

There are a range of rock types in Vermont. Some are granites and higher-grade metamorphic rocks that wouldn't host oil or gas, and some are sedimentary and appropriate types of rock that they could. Vermont geology is pretty complicated, but basically it's more "cooked" to the east and less "cooked" to the west, with some unproductive Precambrian pushed up in the middle in the south. Some oil and gas wells have been drilled there. Some water wells have natural gas in them (called "gas shows"). You can get maps of them on this page. If you want the details of the geology, including some nice cross sections and a bunch of Google Earth overlays, try this page from the USGS (note: the PDF files there are huge and pretty technical).

It's NOT legal to drive around with a loaded rifle, because you might shoot a deer with it. But pistols are fine. No handgun permit needed. There's no concealed carry law in the state, but individual cities sometimes have some variant, and you can't bring firearms into Schools and Courts. It seems that Government Buildings and Churches are fine.

As some friends of mine have explored, it's perfectly legal to tuck a loaded handgun into the back of you pants, drive down the the store, buy a gallon of milk, and drive back. As long as you aren't reckless or threatening, it's just fine.

(The same goes for nudity around here as well. No state law on public nudity, although some towns have them. It's perfectly legal to grab your wallet, get into your truck nude, drive to the store, walk in, buy a gallon of milk, and drive home. As long as you don't do anything obscene, you're fine. Despite this, we have few problems with either nudity or handguns. Or nudes with handguns. It's probably because a large part of this state is, oddly enough, very conservative. And we have winter, which severely curtails the amount of public nudity people are interested in engaging in.)

The states don't have a right to charge taxes on stuff shipped across state lines. Why are we even having this discussion?

Not true. Read ARMCO INC. v. HARDESTY, 467 U.S. 638 (1984); specifically: "Under the Commerce Clause, a State may not tax a transaction or incident more heavily when it crosses state lines than when it occurs entirely within the State." (emphasis added).

Thus, use taxes CAN be charged on items shipped across state lines. For a specific example, feel free to download Vermont's state tax booklet and read the instructions for line 27 (on page 7 of the PDF).

To save Vermont some bandwidth, let me quote the relevant section: "Use Tax applies to purchases on which sales tax has not been charged, but are subject to sales tax. This includes purchases from a mail-order house or catalog, over the Internet, from an out-of-state retailer, or from any retailer who did not charge sales tax."

This is perfectly legal, even under the existing laws, because the Vermont use tax is grandfathered - it existed long before the US government prevented sales tax on Internet purchases.

Re:how about just.... by tegjr · 2005-04-07 07:45 · Score: 5, Informative · on Daylight Savings Change Proposed

quoted from: http://www.anr.state.vt.us/reflect/may1401.htm "Your dad or grandpa probably taught you that you'd save electricity, or at least save money, by leaving fluorescent lights on for extended periods of time rather than turning them off and then back on. That may have been true once, but not any more. The following, borrowed from Kansas City Power and Light, answers the question: Should I turn off fluorescent lights when I don't need them, or is it more energy-efficient to leave them on in an empty room? Fluorescent lighting was developed in the 1940s when electricity costs were low. Design and manufacturing compromises in these early lamps caused them to burn out more quickly if switched on and off daily. Consequently, many companies left their fluorescent lamps on day and night. The electricity consumed -- given the extremely low power rates at that time -- actually cost less than the labor and material needed for lamp replacement. Much has changed during the past half century in the world of lighting. Technology advancements and increased electricity cost have prompted the lighting industry to rethink the conventional wisdom of fluorescent lighting system's operation. Many people continue to believe that it takes significantly more electricity to turn on a fluorescent lamp than to operate the lamp for long periods. Modern fluorescent lamps, however, use little starting energy. Turning them off actually helps them last longer and lowers lighting energy costs. Researchers at the U.S. Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory have found that a fluorescent lamp's initial "start surge" lasts only 1/120 of a second. The entire starting current for two-tube rapid-start luminaries lasts less than one second before it stabilizes. Consequently, Navy engineers assert that turning the lamps off for only one second saves the energy required to turn them back on. A standard fluorescent lamp can run for 34,000 hours if left on 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. This equals 3.9 years of round-the-clock use. However, by turning the lamp off for 12 hours a day, it increases the overall longevity of the lamp to 6.8 years. Not only does turning off fluorescent lights reduce lamp replacement costs, it also reduces electric bills. For example turning off a single one-tube light for only one-half hour a day can save about $3 in energy over the life of the lamp. In fact, the money saved by this routine is typically more than the price of a new lamp. In short, you should turn off lights in your office or a room in your home when you leave, even if you leave for only a few minutes. For more detailed information and additional data about fluorescent light use, visit the Kansas City Power and Light website at http://lighting.bki.com/pubs/bull4.asp?link=kcpl Article posted for the week of May 14, 2001."
