Driving a hybrid!

It isn’t every day you get to look a bit silly on statewide television! WCAX filmed the various initiatives Green Mountain Power is doing to lower the carbon footprint of our vehicles. Not only do we use biodiesel in our fleet, own nine hybrids, two GEM vehicles, encourage carpooling and discourage idling, we now offer employees a $1500 incentive to purchase high-mileage vehicles. So for the benefit of showing television viewers one of Green Mountain Power’s hybrids, I drove it off the lot. Well, I guess you can tell I’ve only driven it a few times – watch my caution as I can’t tell that I turned it on! The darn thing is so quiet, I couldn’t believe it was really on! It certainly is one of the pleasures of driving a hybrid – no noise when you are running on battery power.

Here’s the link to our press release on the vehicle incentive:
