This document summarizes the written comments received\nduring the second public comment period, between the release of the CEP\nPublic Review Draft (CEP) on September 13, 2011 and the close of the\npublic comment period on November 4, 2011. Over 1,380 written comments\nwere received via email, the Comprehensive Energy Plan website, and\nhard copy between July 15 and November 4. Approximately 350 stakeholder\ngroups, including municipal, business, and non-profit entities, submitted\ncomments.  Over 830 form-letter comments were signed and submitted by\nmembers of at least three different organizations.  Over 200 comments\nwere submitted by individual members of the general public.\n<\/blockquote>\nReal input from the entire state. Imagine that!\n<p>\nVermont&#8217;s population is about 622,000, or the size of a single\nCongressional district, so maybe it&#8217;s easier for them than for Georgia.\nOn the other hand, maybe a regional south Georgia energy policy,\nor even a county policy, would be possible.\n<p>\n-jsq\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Georgia can do this if it wants to, Final Comprehensive Energy Plan 2011 The Comprehensive Energy Plan (CEP) addresses Vermont\u2019s energy future for electricity, thermal energy, transportation, and land use.
