Editorâs note: An informal celebration of the life of Bill Scully will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 18, at the Park-McCullough House. This article provides a summary of his thinking on the future of energy in Vermont.
Bill Scully, who built two successful clean hydroelectric power plants â on the Walloomsac River at Papermill Village and on the Hoosic River at North Pownal â left an important legacy for Vermont: that hydropower is critical to the stateâs energy policy.
He was convinced that neither solar nor wind power can be counted on for significant help in meeting long-term goals. He was especially dubious about solar, citing federal weather data that Sacramento has 3,608 hours of sunshine per year while Burlington gets only 2,295.
