Local Release Party for "Come Over"
The Organ Barn at Tree Frog Farm in Guilford, Vermont
Please join Patty Carpenter and the Dysfunctional Family Jazz Band for the launch party for their new CD, Come Over, at the Organ Barn at Tree Frog Farm in Guilford, Vermont. In addition to a premiere performance of the new album, including spoken word sections and narrative with Verandah Porche, there will be a summer's picnic, and a musical ramble and dance concert featuring some of the best musicians from Boston, New York and the local area.
The release party is a benefit in support of the efforts of the Vermont Citizens Action Network (VCAN) to close the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Plant. Time to Celebrate our Victories and Marshall our Resources. And to kick out the jams!
You don't have to be anti-nuclear to want to close Vermont Yankee.

Morning Star analyst memo, on the end of Enexus, and closing ENVY

Renewal or no renewal, we see little incremental value in the Yankee plant for shareholders based on its relatively high cost, small capacity, and onerous power purchase contracts that we expect to persist for at least another decade. We think a decision to shut down Vermont Yankee when its license expires in March 2012 would not have a substantial impact on our fair value estimate.
