Vermont Public Radio reports that fifteen million dollars in federal money could help "dozens of Vermont schools switch to new heating systems that save energy because of the high cost of fuel." Notably, "over the past 20 years, roughly 30 Vermont schools have converted their heating systems from oil to wood. That number could increase dramatically if a bill adopted recently by the U.S. House wins approval this summer in the Senate." Vermont schools that have already converted their heating systems are currently "saving between 40 and 60 percent on their annual energy costs."
