While the region eyes its future amid climate change, Cleveland lost a few points in its clean energy credibility this year, according to a report released Monday by the verbosely-named American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, or the ACEEE.

For close observers of City Hall's enthusiasm for lowering Cleveland's carbon emissions, the drop seems at odds with what was detailed five years ago in the Climate Action Plan. The plan, created during the Frank Jackson era, vowed to cut carbon emissions by 80 percent come 2050.

The ACEEE's super in-depth, 124-page look into what U.S. cities do well, and don't, puts a new spin on the fanfare around activity at City Hall as of late. In a Zoom webinar marking the release of the report, ICEEE Director of Local Policy Dave Ribiero noted four cities with substantial progress—San Francisco, Miami, New Orleans and Madison, Wisconsin—those that, like Bibb touted in December, actualize an agreed-upon government commitment to veering way from fossil fuels.
