The city of Los Angeles is giving itself 15 years to make the switch to 100% renewable energy. Construction of solar photovoltaic and wind power plants, development of heat pumps and electric cars are on the city's roadmap to achieve this goal.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has concluded that Los Angeles is capable of achieving 100% clean energy by 2035.

It will be interesting to see how a megalopolis of more than 18 million people goes about becoming this "green". Because if Los Angeles can do it, the pressure will be on other major US cities to be ambitious about their transition to renewables.
