BUXTON — His business card says "solid waste manager," but Greg Heffernan is also this town's resident dreamer.

His dreams come tinted in green: He looks at the growing municipal complex off Portland Road and envisions solar panels pumping out renewable heat and energy. And right next to his cavernous transfer station, which handled 1,193 tons of recycled materials last year alone, Heffernan sees a windmill.

"It wouldn't have to be a big one," he said Thursday morning as the recyclers, bless them, came and went. "We'd get some power from it, but mostly I'd be looking at it as educational."

He knew it was a lost cause when one selectman referred to it as "all that hippie crap."

I wouldn't think most people would care if a person put one up or not.
