The Annual Progress Report for Vermont provides an in-depth analysis of where Vermont stands relative to its climate commitments and energy goals. This year’s report highlights the theme of affordability. We find that:
- Vermonters pay some of the highest household energy costs in the country
- Electric technologies can offer more efficient alternatives to traditional heating and transportation equipment
- Vermont's energy supply is highly exposed to global markets and price volatility
- Consuming electricity keeps more money in Vermont than consuming fossil fuels
- Our reliance on fossil fuels is causing significant effects on human health and the environment
