Is Georgetown Really 100% Renewable?

Is Georgetown, Texas really powered by 100% renewable energy? 

The Foundation's energy experts tackled this question and more at our community event in Georgetown, Texas on August 15.  Attendees received a thorough run-down of everything energy including why renewables are unreliable, more expensive, and unsustainable. And why 100% renewable simply isn’t doable.
