Vermont's homegrown energy experts, as well as thought leaders from outside the state, convened at the Burlington Sheraton in late October to help predict and create a "renewable future for the Green Mountain state."  A record attendance of more than 600 people including Vermont residents, government representatives, and businesses, attended the sold-out conference hosted by Renewable Energy Vermont (REV).

As reported by the Burlington Free Press, the conference "offered a full, two-day guided tour —a sort of thermo-hydro-aero-solar-electric petting zoo" from those who "might keep the lights on for the rest of us."
