Interesting article: http://www.sustainablecitynetwork.com/topic_channels/policy/article_ad6287d2-7491-11e3-9c23-001a4bcf6878.html
Of course, it helps just a bit to get 90% of your electricity from federally-subsidized hydro, run your own electric muni, and have municipal waste hauling.  But it’s still useful to see how other cities are approaching this issue.
