What does it mean to be Carbon Free and Fossil Fuel Free?

Hillside East is designed with no fossil fuel infrastructure.  There are no gas lines or above ground fuel tanks.  The entire neighborhood is designed to operate annually, all aspects of a modern home, without fossil fuels.  All homes are 100% electric, featuring electricity from on-site solar generation, on-site battery backup and storage, and from Green Mountain Power’s 100% carbon free electric supply.  What this means is that the daily and annual operation of your new home will not add carbon emissions to our atmosphere or life.
