Achieving 100% renewable energy will likely require significant public and private investment in new infrastructure, potentially impacting city budgets or utility costs for residents over time.
All residents and businesses will benefit from cleaner air, reduced pollution, and a more sustainable energy future, while companies in the renewable energy sector could see increased opportunities.
No groups are directly harmed by the goal itself, though the transition process could potentially lead to job displacement in traditional energy sectors or temporary increases in utility costs if not managed equitably.
