Washington, D.C., recently committed to 100% renewable electricity, an achievement that should be the inspiration for other cities to pursue renewable energy.
DC’s move toward clean energy
In January 2019, Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington, D.C., signed into law a bill to commit the nation’s capital to 100% renewable electricity by 2032 – one of the most ambitious clean energy plans in the country. This achievement was spearheaded by local environmental groups like 350 D.C., and should encourage citizens across the country to pressure their hometowns to commit to clean energy.
