Gillford has an energy committee!
.
I have been informed that the Board of Selectmen have decided NOT to listen to Dale Dormody's request that they wait ANOTHER 30 days to form an energy committee for our town. (I can just hear ALGORE now: "The earth burns while 'Nero' Dormody fiddles!") With a motion by Selectman Gus Benevides, they have started the ball rolling.

This is fantastic news! Our town now joins with others in the Granite State that have taken the initiative to do something real and tangible at the local level to look at energy usage and study ways to reduce pollution. Sure, many wring their hands and look to Washington to do something. That's easy... and, typically, nothing more than a meaningless gesture. Creating local ways to curb usage of foreign supplied energy is a win-win situation for everybody. We will save money, and cut back on pollution-causing emmissions too.
