Manchester Vermont's Select Board recently appointed seven members to the town's new energy committee. The committee formed to, among other things, serve as a liaison between the town and Efficiency Vermont will work on a long term energy plan for the town. John O'Keefe town manager and committee member says a lot of work can be done to reduce Manchester's energy consumption including energy consumed in the transportation sector. Already the town has instated an anti-idling policy for town vehicles while the town's fleet uses 20 percent biodiesel fuel. [Source: Bennington Banner]
