For Washington DC, emissions reduction means only one thing: fewer cars

Washington DC may be hard at work on federal efforts to reduce emissions across the US, but what action is being taken in the city itself? From an energy perspective, the capital arguably boasts one of the most ambitious plans for a zero-emissions future of any US city: by 2032, for example, it wants all of the city’s energy produced renewably, with 10% from solar, and cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% compared to the 2006 baseline.
