Vermont's greenhouse gas (GHG) policies are closely linked to energy policy. The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) is working with other state agencies through the Vermont Climate Cabinet to implement the Comprehensive Energy Plan (CEP). The CEP sets an ambitious goal of meeting 90% of the state's energy demand--including the needs for transportation--with renewable sources by 2050. This article discusses how the state will achieve this goal.
