Saving the planet, one city at a time: Nederland aims for 100 percent renewables by 2030 — if not sooner – Boulder Daily Camera
The town of Nederland is poised to become the 42nd community in the country to commit to achieving 100 percent renewable electricity by 2030.
A feel good action that makes no difference in the world at all and will lead to higher electricity costs for Nederland.
It would be nice that cities who declare themselves 100% renewable would actually disconnect from the grid. No coal, no natural gas, no nuclear. All wind and solar, well I’ll allow some hydro. So when the wind doesn’t blow and by inspection we know the sun doesn’t shine 24 hours a day even in Boulder County, they will be relying on Elon Musk’s government subsidized batteries. Come to think of it, almost everything Elon does is government subsidized. What a great life that must be!
