Vermont Establishes New Energy Efficiency Program

Montpelier — Republican Gov. Phil Scott has signed a bill designed to incentivize large energy users to make energy efficient investments.

The new law directs the Public Utility Commission to create an energy savings account pilot program that will incentivize energy efficiency investments by large energy users that have been unable to use previous programs.

Scott said the program will help businesses reduce operating costs and make it easier for the state to meet energy efficiency goals.

The pilot program is scheduled to last for three years. State agencies will select businesses to participate in the program.

N.H. Will Pay AnglersTo Give Up Lead Tackle

Concord — New Hampshire is paying fishermen to give up lead fishing tackle in an attempt to protect loons from poisoning.

One of the threats Loons face is ingestion of lead sinkers and jigs inside the fish they eat.

New Hampshire Public Radio reports fishermen can trade an ounce or more of lead tackle for a $10 gift certificate to a tackle shop.

The offer is good until Labor Day.

The state banned the sale of lead tackle in 2016.
