The Burlington, VT City Council has banned backyard wood burning fire pits (again). No more S'mores due to concerns about air pollution.
Meanwhile, the same city council is expected to impose a carbon tax on new gas furnaces in order to convince more people to hook up to electric heat.
This is the same electric heat that caused Burlington, VT residents to flee an apartment complex because the temperature inside didn’t get above 45 degrees in December.
This is also the same electricity that comes from the city-owned utility that is fed by the city-owned wood burning power plant.
This is the same wood burning power plant that operates at just 24% efficiency and is the largest emitter of CO2 in Vermont.
