BREAKING: The BLM Oregon & Washington Bureau of Land Management - National have cancelled the Bakers Dozen old growth logging project. We believe this was a direct response to the growing opposition from communities in Oregon to the agency's destructive practices, and the threat of direct action. #WorthMoreStanding

No McNeil biomass expansion!

Misguided energy policy, politics, and adherence to “business as usual” threatens to lock us into a dirty, dangerous, and unjust future climate. Contact City Council and demand they break from old thinking and vote NO on the expansion of the McNeil plant. stopbtvbiomass.org

'The International Energy Agency has told us it's time to stop adding new combustion infrastructure on this planet, and that includes adding new pipes to carry steam away from McNeil.'

.Miro Weinberger wants to extend the Vermont Air National Guard lease @BTVAirport for another 25 years, to 2073.

This is enraging.

The F-35s have to go now. Extending VTANG's lease is unconscionable.

The city council plans on voting on this issue on Monday, October 23rd. (1/)

Join us 10/19 for a virtual screening of 'BURNED: Are Trees the New Coal?' Vermont-based activist Bill McKibben will join us. The show will be followed by a discussion of the proposed expansion of the McNeil biomass power plant in Burlington.

Action Alert! Please call UVM Medical Center today at 802-847-5959 and tell them that expanding the McNeil biomass plant to serve UVMMC is a bad deal for Burlington, the health of all Vermonters, our climate and our forests. #NoSteamPipe #DontExpandMcNeil

Damn straight it's a Pipe Dream! #NoSteamPipe #OurForestsArentFuel

Burlington Electric wants you to believe full-grown trees magically pop out of the ground to replace the trees they burn. Tell your City Councilor today to reject BED’s misleading science!

Vermont’s per-capita climate pollution is more than twice as high as the global average — and more than 40% higher than everyone’s favorite climate bad boy, China. #vtpoli #ActOnCliamteVT thevpo.org/2023/09/22/tim…

Respect us or EXPECT us! We brought the party to Burlington Electric's NOT Zero Fest yesterday.

Expanding the McNeil power plant would benefit only big clients like UVM Medical Center. The rest of us will deal with construction headaches, more pollution, and a price tag we can’t afford. Tell your City Councilor now: NO McNeil expansion! tinyurl.com/5xxhwymx
#NoSteamPipe

This is Dan Reicher, the former Assistant Secretary of Energy during the Clinton Administration and a talking head for the biomass and logging industries, pushing carbon capture as a real solution.

He is a clown.
