Abstract
► Examines US cities use of renewable electricity (RE) to power government operations. ► Estimates the aggregate impact this has on GHG emissions. ► City governments' RE use roughly estimated to abate 6.2 million tonnes CO2e annually. ► This is 20% of the potential achievable if only RE is used in government operations. ► Direct impact is negligible in context of total US emissions; indirect may be larger.
