The city didn't succeeded in running a city off renewables.
They succeeded in paying a little more for pretend renewable power.
Only thing that was accomplished was the city got scammed by a solar salesman.
You want to know what the ultimate test for renewable electricity is?
Hawaii, not even the whole thing just one or 2 of the smaller islands, then I will believe it.
They got tons of wind, tons of solar, no fossil fuels resources and aren't connected to a large regional power grid.
So why not?
And you wonder why I'm skeptical of a city that is connected to the power grid puts up a few solar panels and charges people a little more for supposed 100% renewable energy?
