EPA Ranks Dallas #1 for Sustainable Energy Use

The EPA’s latest ranking of local governments shows that Dallas uses more sustainable energy (wind, solar, etc…) than any other registered local government entity. Wow. Perhaps even more impressively, Dallas ranks #9 on the national list, ABOVE THE EPA! This list includes everything from Fortune 500 corporations to government agencies.
According to the EPA, the City of Dallas’ green power purchase of nearly 334 million (kWh) is equivalent to avoiding the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of nearly 48,000 passenger vehicles per year, or is the equivalent amount of electricity needed to power nearly 33,000 average American homes annually. Nice.
