The climate change scam has endless possibilities for grift.
Your description sounds like a ramped up even dirtier extortionist scheme called Efficiency Vermont, created by and benefiting from the state mandated tax on our electric bill to fund a million dollar slush fund to "help" residents upgrade their insulation and appliances to "conserve". Their incentives and cost sharing are pathetic, and their overpaid bureaucracy has multiplied over the years with very little to show for it. So they are always thinking up another little gimmick program to make like they're busy and indispensable.
And guess what! The leading candidate to be the DDA is Efficiency Vermont. In fact, Peter Walke, when working for the state influenced the writing of the CHS law to define the attributes of the DDA to match those of EV to a tee. That done, he jumped over to EV in apparent anticipation of collecting all that cash.

I guess my instincts are sound -- a well-oiled Mafia racket for sure. VT is so screwed.
Thanks for letting us know.
