D.C. Passes Historic Bill Mandating 100 Percent Renewable Power By The Year 2032

According to a report by Huffpost, on Tuesday, city lawmakers in the District of Columbia voted unanimously to pass legislation mandating 100 percent renewable electricity in the capital by 2032. The clean Energy DC Omnibus Act of 2018 doubles Washington's current policy, which claims that 14 years from now, the nation's capital must be getting half its electricity from zero-emissions sources like solar and wind. The legislation, which is expected to become law, would increase fees on electricity from coal and gas and establish a task force to set some of the nation’s most aggressive energy-efficiency standards for existing buildings.
