It may not seem like changing one word in a school's name is a big deal, but there's a lot that still needs to be done for Alderson-Broaddus College to change its name to Alderson Broaddus University.

COLCHESTER, Vt. (AP) — A proposed three-year moratorium on
ridgeline wind energy projects in Vermont could dampen any future
investment in renewable energy, a developer says.
But Caledonia
Republican Sen. Joe Benning, a proponent of a three-year moratorium,
said the Northeast Kingdom is being targeted by wind developers and a
time-out is needed so the state can study the cost and the environmental
impact of the projects.
"We would share the view with a number of
others that feel that a moratorium is unnecessary," said Jack
Kenworthy, manager of Seneca Mountain Wind, which is working on a
40-turbine project in three towns in the region that would become the
state's largest. "It certainly sends a clear signal to investors in
clean energy in Vermont that it's not a safe and reasonable place to
make those investments. And I think it would serve to certainly stifle
those investments."
There are two industrial wind power facilities
in the Northeast Kingdom. A 16-turbine project in Sheffield went online
last year. A 21-turbine project in Lowell is just beginning operation.
The last turbine there was connected to the electric grid Nov. 21.
Benning said the moratorium, which has bi-partisan support in the Senate, is needed.
"The
Northeast Kingdom does not need to be the pinwheel cushion for the rest
of the state of Vermont just because some politicians have decided
industrial strength wind is the way to go," Benning said.
Vermont Public Radio says the moratorium proposal is likely to face strong opposition in the House.
