Subject: No New Fossil Fuel Infrastructure Bill Introduced in the Vermont Legislature

No New Fossil Fuel Infrastructure Bill Comes to the Vermont Legislature!

Here's some unexpected but exciting and important good news

for everyone concerned about climate change, climate justice and preventing the construction of any more fracked gas pipelines in Vermont.

Rep. Mary Sullivan of Burlington has introduced HR- 0746

A bill to prohibit the construction of fossil fuel infrastructure in Vermont 

While this bill is focused primarily on banning construction of any new fracked gas pipelines in Vermont, it strongly prohibits all new fossil fuel infrastructure:  coal, oil and gas. You can read the full text of the bill here:  bill language, H.746. The bill has been sent to the House Energy and Technology Committee. 

This Friday at 11AM till Noon at the State House 

The Committee will hear Mary Sullivan and others introduce this critically important ground-breaking legislation. Within the next month the Committee will have to act to move this bill out of committee or it will die. Therefore, it is vital that as many people as possible be there at 11AM this Friday for this first hearing. 

It is also important that as many people as possible --you, and all your friends and neighbors-- write or call the members of the House Energy and Technology Committee to urge them to support HR.746. The attachment includes their contact information. It is also important that you write or call your own local representatives and urge them to support the No New Fossil Fuel Infrastructure bill. You can find their contact information here:

It will take serious and intensive action between now and the beginning of March to get this vital bill before the whole legislature. It's up to you and everyone you know to begin that work now!
