BURLINGTON, VERMONT achieved 100% renewable energy by 2015

Report (2015): “Burlington, Vermont is that state’s largest city, with a population of 42,000 people. It describes itself as “forward-thinking” which is what you’d expect from a city that once elected Senator Bernie Sanders as its mayor. So it’s no surprise that it recently became the first U.S. city of any decent size to run entirely on renewable electricity” (Anastasia Pantsios, “Burlington, Vermont, becomes first U.S.city to tun in 100% renewable electricity”, EcoWatch, 10 February 2015: http://ecowatch.com/2015/02/10/brlington-runs-on-100-percent-renewable-energy/ ).
