The Summit County Board of County Commissioners in Colorado unanimously voted to approve a resolution committing the unincorporated Summit County community to shift away from fossil fuels and to transition to 100 percent clean, renewable electricity by 2035.
The Colorado Sierra Club Ready for 100 campaign joins the board of county commissioners in celebrating Summit County as the first county in Colorado – and the fifth in the nation – to set this goal. Across the country, 58 cities and towns have already committed to transition to 100 percent renewable energy, the group notes.
Summit County follows the lead of several cities across Colorado, including other mountain towns like Breckenridge and Nederland, in committing to a future powered entirely by clean energy.
