Vermont conservationist joins federal panel on plant siting

John W. Stevens, executive director of the Conservation Society of Southern Vermont, is one of six citizen conservationists invited to meet in Washington with federal officials to discuss national power plant siting policies. The interagency group includes representatives from the Atomic Energy Commission, Federal Power Commission, and departments of Interior, Health and Welfare, Education, and Rural Electrification, with TVA involved. Stevens plans to urge firmer long term policies and questions projections that underestimate needs while noting automation and small hydro options as future paths. He cites Europe’s underground utilities and proposes utility corridors to reduce lines and land disruption.
