My friend Judy Zemel and a few others came up with the idea of encouraging folks in our community to make art related to the theme of energy in the state of Vermont. One of the reasons this was on their minds is that our local nuclear power plant will be decommissioned in the year 2012. There's been a lot of press about this lately; a tritium leak and cesium-137 found in the soil around the plant have fueled the attention surrounding the Vermont Legislature's recent vote not to allow relicencing of the plant. (Vermont is the only state that gives the legislature a say in the relicencing decision.)
