He noted Vermont relies on oil for about 75 percent of electricity and urged immediate action, outlining potential four day workweeks and extended student vacations to save energy while protecting incomes and fuel for work. He reported many stations closed and warned against inflated 90 percent allocations, citing brewing black market fears and industrial unease as Simon hinted a nationwide rationing decision soon. He urged daylight scheduling of activities and immediate adoption of PSB outdoor lighting rules to curb electricity use.
