MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermont in the 1970s was a hotbed for the counterculture, and the influx of young people had a lasting influence on the state's politics, agriculture and food and offbeat culture.
After two years of research, the Vermont Historical Society's exhibit "Freaks, Radicals & Hippies: Counterculture in the 1970s in Vermont" opens at the Vermont History Center in Barre on Sept. 24.
BOSTON — With the right amount of encouragement, energy storage technology – a field that can range from batteries to more novel contraptions – could account for 600 megawatts of energy in Massachusetts by 2025, providing more than $800 million in savings and reducing greenhouse gases by the equivalent of removing 73,000 cars from the road, according to a new study.
"Storage is going to be an integral technology," Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Matt Beaton told reporters Friday. He called it a potential "game-changer," a term that others have also used to describe the technology's promise.
