Top 10 U.S. Cities Ranked by Use of Renewable Energy

I came across this Top 10 list the other day and thought it was interesting.

Top 10 chart

You’ll note that there are 6 cities in California in the Top 10, likely due to the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) which requires a 20% renewable energy total for the state’s utilties by 2010 and a 33% total by 2020.

Here’s a map of each state’s RPS goals.

It’s encouraging to states committing to these goals. I have a question though:  What’s going on with the other half of the country - shouldn’t ALL states be held accountable to these goals?
