Energy Conversations - Videos Of Earlier Programs

These public “conversations” began when the committee was first formed because we all felt a need to educate ourselves about matters relating to energy & how we can help the town become more energy efficient.

Our Energy Conversations are held on the 1st Thursday of the month in the Selectmens' room at 7pm, are broadcast live on Channel 22 in Hampton, and then are run in a cycle with other town meetings at various times of the day and night for 2 to 3 weeks. They are then archived to the town website and here on this site.

Note: these are videos which can take a very long time to download and display in your browser. Recommendation: if you cannot support 256K streaming video, right-click on the file you want and save to your PC.
