We get our electricity from solar (even in the winter). But for heating the green house, we use geothermal air circulation (fans powered by solar of course). Passive solar thermal doesn't work well in winter, it's actually even less efficient than solar PV used to heat water with resistive coils when it's gets cold. Passive solar thermal is only more efficient than solar PV when it's very sunny out

They both suck, everyone loses. Carry on.

Update on my case! Watch out for this guy! And report if you see him!

Also taxes

NH property taxes < VT income tax + VT sales tax + VT property tax

Yeah, the Stowe, Manchester, and Woodstock effect.

When you live in florida, you'll understand why those taxes in Vermont are valuable. Especially if you have kids and put them in a Florida school. The only places that have some decent schools are those that have high local taxes to make up for the lack of money coming from the state

Oh definitely I was just saying that the popular image of old-timey Vermont is something like Currier and Ives or Norman Rockwell when it was surprisingly cutting edge for its time and place. If people took a time machine to any rural town here in the 19th century, it would probably be unrecognizable in many places because of the sheer number of small mills and workshops. Nowadays only the farmhouses and mill city manses have survived and so they dominate the popular imagery of the historical landscape.

Could someone tell me what you just said?

Your username checks out, cause mine is.

one of my thoughts too, but idk. i could believe they thought keeping poc out would help the area, but no source, not valid. Can't just say shit like that without evidence.

Yeah real estate agents refusing money just doesn't add up.

Grow your own and see how NHSP likes it.

There are still a lot of high end custom mechanical engineering firms dotted around the state.

Higher property taxes are that much of an incentive to move there?

Installed a single 36000 BTU single head in my 1200 square foot cellar last fall. Spent about $4000 and installed it myself. We leave the cellar door open and it has pretty much kept the whole house warm this winter. Used less than a half a tank of oil so far but electric bill went up a couple hundred a month.

Shorter coastline than Lake Champlain lol.

Seaports are important though.

That's commuting distance for a lot of people.

Nashua for sure.

I guess you could. Plenty of prep commute back and forth.

That last disclaimer about “NO TRUCK” seems a bit pointless….
