| This is the PEC website. Originally formed in 1977 as a selectboard appointed group, PEC was one of the first energy groups in Vermont. Recognized by Richard Snelling then Governor of Vermont, on May 20th 1977. PEC in it's current incarnation is an ad-hoc organization of dedicated volunteers - part of a growing number of energy groups across Vermont (98 at last count) and the nation. All of these groups share one goal; diminishing the effect of Climate Change - by creating new ways of saving energy and reducing our energy usage and carbon footprint through recycling, conservation and the replacement of non-renewable with renewable energy sources. PEC is working on a PACE program for Putney - PACE Q&A PEC supports 350.ORG - For more information on 350.org and the effects please visit the ocean fact sheet, or the Dec 11th vigil or watch this great video ... PEC is involved with multiple community projects, the Post Oil Solutions group and the new Transition Putney movement. There are renewable energy resources, links and incentives you might find useful in the menu above. Please come to our monthly meetings, get involved and support your local energy committee. Please support the apollo project for renewable energy; applied at a national level it will employ hundreds of thousands of people, creating new jobs, clean energy and a secure future for America. This is the time to act. This is a time to mobilize, get involved - even if you have never have before. It is time for us all to embrace a new economy and a new future of clean renewable energy. We need to push for accelerated research and development on new ways to create, use and save energy. We need to end the oil and gas subsidies, we need to retrain our entire way of thinking - toward a more holistic approach that includes local food production, local employment and local energy production. Support your local transition town movement. We need a mass transit that works for us, and electric cars that make no pollution (charged by the sun and wind), we need to collectively reject the old polluting transportation, food production, and energy systems that are causing global climate degradation and planetary collapse. We need, as a country to reverse direction, bigger is not better, "super-size" is such a waste. read more... PEC and the Town of Putney Changed over 3000 bulbs! Watch a video of the Bulb Drop
