[Gempog2] Wednesday's (Tonight's!) PoCSuN meeting

[Annie Dunn Watson]

(Apologies for any double posts... we are trying to work out a bug in 
the system.)

The Post Carbon Sustainability Network, now referred to as PoCSun 
(poke sun) will meet for its regular monthly meeting at the Unitarian 
Church this Wednesday, April 9th at 6:00 for a pot luck supper.  The 
program will feature Ann Watson, faculty supervisor of the Vermont 
Sustainable Heating Initiative, telling us about the VSHI's work in 
the area of home heating with grass pellets.  The student group has 
done research to suggest that Vermont could grow its own fuel in 
sufficient quantity to heat all homes in the state.  This has 
considerable significance for job growth and increased farmer income.

We will also be joined by Rick Barstow, an East Montpelier resident 
who has received a grant from the VT Dept. of Ag for a grass 
pelletizing demonstration project.  We are hopeful that the Director 
of the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund will be able to join us.  Sadly, 
Scott Sawyer will not be available as he will be attending his 
grandfather's funeral.  The VSJF will soon be issuing RFP's for grass 
pelletizing research projects.

It should be an interesting and very relevant discussion.
