NoSAG likes solar, but...

The North Springfield Action Group, which opposed the ill-fated biomass plant in North Springfield, said Thursday it “applauded” the proposed solar facility for the same location in the North Springfield Industrial Park.

  1. This group is solely responsible for the decline of Springfield and Vermont as a whole. Anyone who desires positive growth and a better lifestyle should completely ignore the one sided facts this group presents.

    1. NoSAG is a not for profit organization. But they are not registered as a 501(c)3. So where do they really spend their monies? Since when does a political group get to speak for the people of Springfield, VT? Once again, they NoSAG, is speaking publicly for their own causes. How many jobs will this group run out of Springfield under the guise of being environmentally friendly? Solar bad for Springfield? Wake up! Green Mountain Power is a Canadian owned subsidiary, Irving Oil is a Canadian owned subsidiary. I get my electricity from GMP, my propane from Irving. I'm American and you want to rip apart the town using solar...wake up! A couple of wind turbines on Hawks Mountain and Mt. Ascutney would be great. NoSAG would you ban this too? Get real people, and look up these people, their organization, and their legal team. Make a decision for yourselfs. NoSAG is not my mouth piece. How about putting your financial statement on where all your donated monies really go up on your web site, instead of a blanket statement saying our monies goes for legal fees. Get honest here NoSAG!

      They didn't, as you appear to claim, say solar is bad for Springfield.

    3. "One sided facts"? Facts are facts, old bean. They don't have a "side", unless it be truth. Getcher facts straight, please.

  2. Though I don’t approve with this group (NSAG), a few good questions were asked surrounding the proposal for the town to sign up. A few months ago, there was a presentation to the school board by the same group purposing they sign a 20 year contract with their firm. A few of the school board members asked the same questions and this topic was put on hold. Maybe the town and school board should jointly research all the actualities to this proposal before signing any contracts. They should stay with the facts and not let their personal feeling toward this subject get in the way of a decision which will affect us taxpayers for years to come.

  5. How in the world has the town of Springfield survived "pre nosaggers". But on the other hand the only thing they care about is their own back yards. There was talk a few months ago that Entergy might be planning a Bio mas wood chip plant in Vernon. You would think that if nosaggers cared about this, they would be storming Vermont Yankee and the PSB, but wait, not in their back yard, don't care. You people are as narrow minded and hypocritical as any group I've ever seen

  6. We don't need no disgusting solar power that is an eyesore and is only economically feasible with the taxpayers footing the shortfall. Winfanny needs to develop a meaningful enterprise with their own dollars and stop robbing the taxpayers on everything they propose.

  7. People, you should query which towns have the cleanest air in the state. They are towns WITH a biomass plant. NOSAG is full of lies and deceit.

  8. "This group is solely responsible for the decline of Springfield and Vermont as a whole."??????? This statement will go down in history as the very definition of hyperbole. Yeah.. it's not drugs or poor decisions by government (local or state) or industrial farming or the overall economic downturn. It's a little, local group that was concerned about one polluting project that has caused the decline of the entire state. You would get much farther in life if you spoke about facts and not made sweeping generalizations.

    And yes, NoSag is concerned with their own back yard -- that's why it's called the "North Springfield Action Group." Not "Group Against All Biomass Projects in Vermont" or even "Springfield Action Group."

      The post you quote was surely intended as sarcasm, tongue in cheek, since nobody could be, ah, thoughtful enough to believe such a claim.

  9. How about wind energy? Put a few windmills on Rt 106 and we could use all that hot air coming of the mouths of Dodd, Kischko and Randall to power the whole state.
