    🌲 How Vermont Activism is Driving Up Costs for Locals 🌲

    In this video, we explore how powerful activist groups and environmental lobbyists in Vermont are impacting the local economy and driving up costs for everyday Vermonters. From Efficiency Vermont to 350Vermont and VNRC, these organizations—often linked to global agendas—work closely with Vermont’s Democratic supermajority to push policies that increase energy prices, restrict small businesses, and raise the cost of living.
