Voices of 100%: When 100% Renewable Electricity Isn’t Enough, Burlington Targets Net Zero
By Christopher Neely Yes, 100% renewable energy is a goal all communities should strive for, but if a community is also producing massive amounts of carbon elsewhere, 100% renewable doesn’t mean as much—communities, cities, states, countries, all need to focused on net-zero emissions as well. An interesting note in this article—Burlington was the first U.S….
