In order to cut its carbon emissions by 50 percent in a little more than a decade, Washington DC is passing a new law that calls for 100 percent renewable electricity by 2032. The deadline is 13 years earlier than those in California or Hawaii, which are also moving to 100 percent renewable energy.
