Clean Energy for Vermont by Vermont

This is a video by Green Mountain Power, one of the corporations behind the Kingdom Community Wind project. Its definitely supporting a biased argument but it does do a good job of highlighting many of the pros for the project.

Essentially the way they put the video together makes the project out to be an energy source for Vermont, by Vermonters. Over 90% of the workers involved in construction are from the local area. This helps generate local income which can then flow back into local businesses. They promote the project as a clean energy source which is going to provide the Vermont community with a reliable and cheap source of power.

All the footage came from a meeting in Lowell discussing the issue of Kingdom Community Wind. Because Green Mountain Power represents a major player in the project, and holds significant stakes in its outcome, it would be interesting to see what was left out of the video.
