Northampton reaffirms support for goal of 100 percent renewable energy
The Northampton City Council reaffirmed its commitment to a goal of reaching 100 percent renewable energy reliance at its meeting Thursday night. Councilors voted unanimously Thursday to pass a resolution in its 2nd reading that champions the goal. The legislation was unanimously passed during its first reading on Jan. 18 as well. The document encourages the city to develop an energy plan that makes usage as efficient as possible, eventually leading to total reliance on renewable resources. The legislation does not give a timeline for achieving this goal.
