Washington D.C. On Course To Pass Historic Climate Bill

As the federal government doubles down on denying climate change, the nation’s capital is moving toward using 100 percent renewable energy.

The nation’s capital just took a major step toward passing the most ambitious climate bill in the country—at a time when the federal government denies the need for such laws.

Tuesday (November 27), the Council of the District of Columbia voted unanimously for the Clean Energy D.C. Omnibus Act of 2018, more commonly referred to as the Clean Energy D.C. Act. The law would move the city’s power grid entirely to renewable energy sources by 2032, making it the first municipality to do so.
