Newbury Energy Committee flags conflicting data in town energy plan
Summary
Committee members identified a discrepancy on page 61 of the Newbury Town Plan energy section, where the text and the accompanying graph report opposite 70% figures; the group agreed to investigate and resolve the inconsistency at a later meeting.
Committee member Tom Kidder flagged a data inconsistency in the Newbury Town Plan energy section during the July 21 meeting. On page 61, the plan text states "Seventy percent (70%) of Vermont’s energy comes from renewable resources," while the accompanying graph indicates that 70% of energy comes from fossil fuels. The committee recorded the discrepancy and said it will be discussed at a future meeting.
The discrepancy was treated as an item for further review rather than a final finding. Members did not resolve which figure is correct during the July meeting, and the minutes state only that the inconsistency "was noted and will be discussed further at a later meeting." Committee follow-up is expected to clarify whether the text or the graph reflects the accurate data and whether any plan text edits are required.
