Vermont today passed a bill that requires 100% renewable electricity across all the state's utilities by 2035, and it's expected to become law.

“…across all the state’s utilities by 2035.”

Is this a good balance between ambitious and realistic timeline? 2035 is just over a decade away.

    It’s better than no mandate, and tbh 10 years for a big public infrastructure project is probably about right

    I’d expect the bulk of that progress could be made by the halfway mark though

      Ideally, there would be an interim target as well (say 85% by 2030) but it seems like Vermont is already on the right track at least.
