Atlanta Proposes 100 Percent Green Energy Implementation by 2035

Atlanta is the latest city pledging to fully switch to green energy by 2035, BBC News reported. It joins over a hundred other cities who have made the pledge. Sustainable energy is an achievable but complicated goal. According to the BBC article, a green energy plan was approved by the Atlanta City Council in March. One of the first steps of the plan is to simply increase energy efficiency, including insulating old homes, which could reduce the city’s energy use by up to 30 percent. The city also plans to erect solar panels, seek renewable energy credits, and rely on increasingly efficient storage batteries for solar power in order to reach its goals. Sustainable energy can sound wildly complicated. Most times, it isn’t.
