Renewable Energy Vermont Expresses Sorrow at the Passing of John Warshow

It is with a heavy heart that the Renewable Energy Vermont community learns of the passing of John Warshow.  For more than thirty years, John worked to advance renewable energy and conservation in Vermont -- as a developer and owner of several hydroelectric dams, a participant in the development of wind and landfill gas projects, as a leader of the Vermont Independent Power Producers Association and a selectboard member of Marshfield.  John was one of the first anti-nuclear protestors of Vermont Yankee and was one of the leaders of the Clamshell Alliance that stopped Seabrook 2.  John's critical thinking and logical perspective will be sorely missed.  In a past New York Times article, John was quoted as saying: ''We are committed to showing that you can develop alternative energy without wrecking the environment.  Vermont has a very high environmental consciousness. That's the reason I live here.''  A native of Port Washington, L.I., John leaves his wife and two sons in Marshfield.
