But how would you expect that a city can achieve "using 100% clean power" without earmarking? Should they run their own, independent power grid?

[–] hash@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

The important difference is that the power is allocated to a specific small subset of very public buildings rather than a municipality or even a neighborhood.

Should they? No. Need they? Yes.
