Several issues related to the overall statewide energy awareness issue were discussed, \n\nOne motion was made, seconded and agreed to by acclimation. That motion was that information derived or available from from the participants of the meeting shall be free and available to all.

It would be nice to consolidate all these into the Google Ride\nFinder. With the bus and train maps in the ride finder, allow a way to\n\nenter a start point and an end point to find the following metrics:\n - Which schedules to take in order to get to the end point\n - The cost of riding the bus for the path taken (good marketing for\ngetting people to sign up for daily, weekly, monthly passes)\n - The time it will take to ride the route\n - Delay probabilities (how well the bus is on time)\n\nOf course it would be nice to have bus/train tracking on the map\nitself, just like the taxis. However, the tracking does not\nnecessarily have to be in realtime. It could just be an approximation\nof where the bus would be based on the schedules and routes.

On October 30, 2007, IBM Essex announced that they had developed a method\nfor turning scrap silicon from their chip fabrication process into high\nquality solar cells. Two years ago this new process was awarded the 2007\nMost Valuable Pollution Prevention Award from The National Pollution\nPrevention Roundtable (NPPR). Since then IBM has had at least three\nseries of layoffs at this plant. As of today, I cannot find a source for\nIBM Solar Cells, particularly those made in the Essex plant. Is there\nanything that the State of Vermont can do to encourage IBM to produce\nSolar Cells from their scrap silicon, if for no other reason than to\neliminate layoffs? What incentive would it take for IBM Essex to produce\nhigh quality solar cells as a primary product line instead of as a waste\nby product. Finally when and where can I purchase a roof full of solar\ncells produced here in Vermont, by Vermont's crafts-folk? To keep up to \ndate with this matter please consult the Barre Energy Awareness Resource\nweb site http://www.bearvt.org.\n\n
...and at the same time shutting down their silicon foundry, making less chips and laying off the "cap and gown" worker who actually does this work. I realize that only 3 percent of their production is scrapped in this fashion, I am merely wondering if maybe they made solar cells a primary business line if they could increase their foundry output (and consequently the quality of the blanks used for epaxial processing :^) and turn the increased supply of wafers into solar cells, make some money with them and consequently get working all those cap and gowners they just layed off. \n\nAt the Barre Gun Show, the one collectable that I really would pay for would be an example of the flexibility of New England industry in general and IBM in particular. This item would be an "IBM" 30 caliber M1 Garand see example [[here|http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/565582980vVyyGy]] to me this exemplifies what IBM is capable of in a national crisis. IBM went from making typewriter parts to rifles in a matter of months. Maybe they need to be reminded of their own capability. \n\nThe benefits to UVM is someone would need to develop the mask for the first "Smart Solar Sells" - The benefits to UVM is someone would need to develop the mask for the first "Smart Solar Sells" - work with me ...I'm in marketing!
