Related: About this forum"First U.S. City to Run On 100% Renewable Electricity"
Burlington, Vermont is that states largest city, with a population of 42,000 people. It describes itself as forward-thinking which is what youd expect from a city that once elected Senator Bernie Sanders as its mayor. So its no surprise that it recently became the first U.S. city of any decent size to run entirely on renewable electricity.
