New! Renewable Energy Atlas of Vermont: 

 Vermont Renewable Energy Atlas

The Atlas is a tool for identifying, analyzing, and visualizing existing and promising locations for renewable energy projects.  Vermonters can click on their town (or several towns or counties) and select from a thorough suite of renewable energy options: biomass, efficiency, geothermal, hydroelectric, solar, and wind.  Maps and analysis may be saved as a unique URL or exported in PDF format.  The Atlas is optimized for best viewing in Google ChromeTM.
