2030 Clean-energy Goal Off Track

Summary

The city's energy manager admitted Louisville is not on track to hit its 2030 100% clean-energy goal. Rooftop solar has only touched about 0.4% of energy use, and no utility-scale proposal has been cost-effective. Council Member Piagentini said he was 'totally vindicated' in opposing the resolution.
