The Trump administration isn’t about renewable energy, but thanks to the Washington, D.C., city council, it could soon be running on clean power. The council passed one of the most ambitious climate bills in the country on Tuesday requiring the District to get all of its energy from renewables by 2032...."This is only the beginning," Reverend Yearwood, the head of the Hip Hop Caucus, said at the press conference after the bill was passed.

Thank God there are intelligent, sensible people in Washington DC, who can understand the hugely complex energy requirements of the USA, and come up with such easy and simple solutions.

We do not elect people to be unaccountable radical dictators.

We revolt against “rulers” like this.

Wake me when they can turn water into gasoline.

Good, I hope they cut all the power lines going into D.C. otherwise this is impossible- you cant tell a “ solar ‘tron from a coal or nuclear ‘tron.. Stupidity continues to grow. Where's that zombie apocalypse I have been praying for?

I promise the Government
of the District of Colombia
will manage to change the weather,
just as soon as they can manage
to arrest one crack dealer in Anacostia.

The Africanization of America continues apace.

Let them try to fund it!!!

[Flaming Conservative]

Well, they’ve probably got a pretty long wait, then, ain’t they?

Thanks for the pic!

[Repeal 16-17]

The District of Columbia keeps giving the rest of the country reasons to be glad the District has no voting representation in Congress.

Good luck on telling Maryland and Virginia how to generate electricity.

[Vince Ferrer]

What conservatives failed to do, progressives will succeed at, bringing D.C. to a screeching halt.

Ahhh, yes, there’s no amount of virtue you can’t accomplish with other people’s money. And DC has a ton of it.

Over $14.5 billion. Yes, b-b-b-billion.

Rap your mind around that. Budgets for LA and Chicago are each under $10 billion, but are gargantuan-sized compared to DC.

Oil is a renewable resource.

So long as ignorance is a renewable resource, DC will be fine.
