The search for renewable and alternative forms of energy in the Granite State--
NOW on New Hampshire Outlook.
script iconHello/Intro Energy
Return to index of stories...
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
The rapid rise in oil prices over the past year has led to a new interest in alternative and renewable sources of energy.
In this program, we'll look at efforts around New Hampshire to find new ways to generate needed power while reducing reliance on foreign oil and other fossil fuels.
As Outlook's Richard Ager tells us, the search includes ways to conserve fuel, as well as finding new forms of energy.

Where does NH stand when it comes to renewable energy sources?
Here to talk about that:
Joseph Broyles, The Energy Program Manager with NH's Office of Energy and Planning, he can give us the big picture.
Representative Sam Cataldo -- can fill us in on renewal energy recommendations coming out of the legislative subcommittee he chaired.
Rhett Lamb, the planning director for the city of Keene who will update us on how individual municipalities can make a difference.
And, John Rymes, can give us a business perspective.
He's the owner of Rymes Heating Oils, the first outfit to sell biodisel in NH.
Welcome to all of you.
Q JOSEPH BROYLES: New England has long been called a FOSSIL FUEL GLUTTON
whether it be oil, natural gas, or gasoline.
What is NH doing in the way of renewal energy??
Q RHETT LAMB: Keene -- is a MODEL when it comes to being GREEN.
State grants paid for the BIO-DIESEL program the first year, the 2ND year Keene
picked up the TAB.
How difficult was it to get COMMUNITY SUPPORT -- in these tight budgetary times??
Q JOHN RYMES: You're in the BIODIESEL business --where are you generally selling
it ? How does COST compare to traditional fuel???
Q JOHN: Has the STATE been helpful??
Q REP CATALDO: What about that??
Q REP CATALDO: On a Dept of Energy Web site I read: There are currently NO state INCENTIVES for alternative fuels or alternative fuel vehicles in NH? SHOULD there BE??
script iconEnergy Conversation
Return to index of stories...
Q JOSEPH BROYLES: There is a short list of communities that have Property Tax Exemptions for renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, & wood.
WHY not more communities???
Q RHETT LAMB: Did Keene contemplate that?
Q REP CATALDO: What about GEO-THERMAL energy.
Is there MORE potential on that front?
what does that mean????
Q RHETT LAMB: What can ONE community do? don't operate in a vaccum when you talk about greenhouse gases.you may have green policy but town next door may not?
BROYLES: Are there any inventive REGIONAL strategies in terms of renewable
energy sources???
** Any talk of a NE-wide ENERGY summit??
Q JOHN RYMES: From a business perspective what does the STATE need to do
to promote RENEWAL ENERGY initiatives, or businesses that strive to be green?
Q REP CATALADO: Should state play PARTNERSHIP role with utilities, and business.
Q REP CATALDO/ JOSEPH BROYLES: Other NE states seem to be in the forefront when it comes to fighting global warming thru GREEN public buildings, and transit systems. Will NH be stepping up to the plate??

My thanks to Joseph Broyles, Rhett Lamb,Sam Cataldo, and John Rymes for sharing their perspectives.
As for thinking regionally: A recent article on Energy entitled: Time to take the OFFENSE, says if NE worked together -- given its technological prowress and pioneering spirit -- the 6 states could "lead" America's indispensible energy revolution.

AP-NH--Keene-Global Warming

Keene mayor at global warming conference
dewkee

KEENE, N.H. - The mayor of Keene is meeting
with mayors from around the world this week to talk about ways to
cut global warming.
Keene already has taken some steps, but Mayor Michael Blastos is
at a conference in Montreal to get more tips.
Keene has done things such as installing energy-saving traffic
signals, building a geothermal heating system at the public works
building and running the citys truck fleet on a mix of fuel that
includes biodiesel.
Blastos says the changes put Keene ahead of many other, larger,
cities and have prompted many environmental groups to point to the
city as a model.

Monday Dec. 12:
The show was not my best. I am not feeling well and we haven't done a show with guests in a few weeks. So I forgot to bring in the animation with music and the intros were not the smoothest in the world. The camera guys seemed off too. Well, they switched the cameras around so that messed me up a few times but just in my head.
Hopefully, it was just one of those days.
