The Bright Future of the All-Electric Neighborhood
Susan Manners and her partner were looking to move to Vermont to be closer to their kids when they stumbled upon a chance to buy a townhouse in a new development in the northwestern city of South Burlington. The view — a vista of the Green Mountain range — was a huge selling point, Manners recalls. But they were primarily drawn to the new-build home for how it is powered: solar panels on the roof, a battery wall in the basement, and no natural gas hookup to be found. And the same is true for all of their neighbors.
“The zero-carbon was a big driver,” Manners says. “We’re really concerned about climate change.”
