the Town of Brattleboro, Vermont generating both electricity and
thermal energy, using biomass as a fuel, for the benefit of multiple
stakeholders and the town as a whole. Their long-term aim is to
eliminate Brattleboro's dependency on fossil fuels (primarily oil and
natural gas) for heating, and obtain most of its electricity from
renewable local sources. </font></font></p>
