In February 2017, just a month after President Trump took office, the city council of Pueblo, Colo., approved a resolution committing to powering itself on 100% clean #energy by 2035. Local leaders heralded the push as a way to lower energy bills, grow the local economy and reduce the city’s #climate footprint. But over the past year and a half they have found that #goinggreen is easier said than done. To meet its goal of 100% clean energy, Pueblo will need to overcome a raft of technical, financial and legal challenges. Like extricating itself from a 20-year contract with the electric utility that built Pueblo a new natural gas plant. In 2010 the city renegotiated its deal for South Dakota-based Black Hills Energy to provide it power. To do that, the company built a brand-new natural gas plant. The Pueblo Airport Generating Station, photographed here by @jamiekripke, opened in 2012; the facility occupies a small footprint on the outskirts of town and employs just 20 people, but it can produce nearly enough electricity to power all of Pueblo. As a result, today Pueblo residents face some of the highest electricity bills in the region. Pueblo is not the only city grappling with these challenges. As the Trump Administration doubles down on fossil fuels, some 70 U.S. cities, from St. Louis to San Francisco, Orlando to Aspen, have committed to powering themselves with 100% clean energy, according to the Sierra Club, which is organizing a campaign around the pledge. Hundreds more have set their own targets to go green. The stakes are high not only for Pueblo but for the #planet. Read the full story on TIME.com. Photograph by @jamiekripke for TIME
