Cities & the Energy Mix
How U.S. cities shift their energy mix toward clean, reliable, affordable power — targets, procurement, and whether the rhetoric becomes reality. Anchored by Miela Mayer's 2019 thesis, readable at mielamayer.github.io.
How U.S. cities shift their energy mix toward clean, reliable, affordable power — targets, procurement, and whether the rhetoric becomes reality. Anchored by Miela Mayer's 2019 thesis, readable at mielamayer.github.io.
Cities & the Energy Mix examines how cities transition their energy supply toward clean power — across buildings, mobility, and the grid — and the gap between ambitious commitments and what it takes to meet them.
Read the thesis — U.S. Cities' Renewable Energy Targets: Rhetoric or Reality?: https://mielamayer.github.io/pdfs/rhetoric-or-reality-thesis.pdf
It is anchored by Miela Mayer's 2019 Yale thesis, "U.S. Cities' Renewable Energy Targets: Rhetoric or Reality?", and maps the procurement mechanisms cities actually use: community choice aggregation, power purchase agreements, green tariffs, RECs, renewable portfolio standards, and the utility structures that shape what's possible.
