Google, 23 others urge round-the-clock clean energy for federal facilities

Two dozen companies and environmental groups, including Google, urged President Joe Biden to be a “catalyst for investment” by mandating that federal facilities be powered with locally generated clean energy sources around the clock.

A goal of using only carbon-free electricity at all hours of the day would be a major step beyond the 100% clean energy commitments that have become popular among corporations and governments but still include some reliance on fossil fuel-generated power that is balanced out with cleaner sources.
