Solar Energy Is Revolutionary

Renewable energy is our future, and places like Green Mountain Power are already working to transform our energy system. I applaud GMP for leading the way in Vermont and for the rest of the country. Their farm has 7,700 solar panels—enough to produce 2.5 megawatts of electricity, or power for 2,000 homes. This is pretty revolutionary stuff.
