Today’s Solutions: March 29, 2024

In recent years, nations have been promising to cut back on fossil fuel use. Cities are doing so, too. And as cities consume around 78% of global energy, that’s a good thing for reducing the world’s carbon footprint. Latin America leads with the highest number of renewably-powered cities.
