Kukhona idolobha elisha elingunombolo 1 elinamandla elanga e-US, i-San Diego ithatha indawo ye-Los Angeles njengedolobha eliphezulu lokufakwa kwamandla elanga e-PV ekupheleni kuka-2016, ngokombiko omusha ovela ku-Environment America kanye ne-Frontier Group.
Amandla kagesi elanga ase-US akhule ngesivinini esiqopha umlando ngonyaka odlule, futhi umbiko uthi amadolobha amakhulu ezwe abambe iqhaza elikhulu ekuguqukeni kwamandla ahlanzekile futhi asemele ukuzuza izinzuzo ezinkulu ngamandla elanga. Njengezikhungo zenani labantu, amadolobha ayimithombo emikhulu yesidingo sikagesi, futhi njengoba enezigidi zophahla olufanele ama-solar panel, anamandla okuba imithombo ebalulekile yamandla ahlanzekile futhi.
Umbiko, onesihloko esithi "Shining Cities: How Smart Local Policies Are Expated Power Solar in America," kusho iSan Diego yadlula iLos Angeles, eyayikade ingumholi kazwelonke eminyakeni emithathu edlule. Ngokuphawulekayo, i-Honolulu ikhuphuke isuka endaweni yesithupha ekupheleni kuka-2015 yaya endaweni yesithathu ekupheleni kuka-2016. I-San Jose ne-Phoenix bahlanganisa izindawo ezinhlanu eziphezulu ze-PV efakiwe.
Kusukela ekupheleni kuka-2016, amadolobha aphezulu angama-20 - amele u-0.1% nje wendawo yomhlaba wase-US - abalelwa ku-5% womthamo we-solar PV wase-US. Umbiko uthi la madolobha angama-20 acishe abe ngu-2 GW womthamo we-solar PV - cishe amandla elanga amaningi njengoba izwe lonke laliwafakile ekupheleni kuka-2010.
"I-San Diego ibeka izinga kwamanye amadolobha ezweni lonke uma kuziwa ekuvikeleni imvelo yethu nokudala ikusasa elihlanzekile," kusho iMeya yaseSan Diego uKevin Faulconer esitatimendeni sabezindaba. "Lesi sikhundla esisha siwubufakazi kubahlali abaningi baseSan Diego namabhizinisi asebenzisa imithombo yethu yemvelo njengoba simasha sibheke emgomweni wethu wokusebenzisa amandla avuselelekayo angamaphesenti ayi-100 kulo lonke idolobha."
Lo mbiko uphinde uhlanganise lokho okubizwa ngokuthi "Izinkanyezi Zelanga" - amadolobha ase-US anama-watts angama-50 noma ngaphezulu omthamo we-solar PV ofakiwe kumuntu ngamunye. Ekupheleni kuka-2016, amadolobha angu-17 afinyelele isimo seSolar Star, esisuka kwayisishiyagalombili kuphela ngo-2014.
Ngokombiko, i-Honolulu, i-San Diego, i-San Jose, i-Indianapolis ne-Albuquerque bekungamadolobha amahlanu aphezulu ngo-2016 wokufaka umthamo we-solar PV ngomuntu ngamunye. Ngokuphawulekayo, i-Albuquerque ikhuphuke yafinyelela kunombolo 5 ngo-2016 ngemva kokuba ikleliswe endaweni ye-16 ngo-2013. Umbiko uveza ukuthi idlanzana lamadolobha amancane akleliswe kwabangu-20 abaphezulu ngokufakwa kwamandla elanga ngomuntu ngamunye, okuhlanganisa neBurlington, Vt.; I-New Orleans; kanye neNewark, NJ
Amadolobha ahamba phambili e-US asebenzisa amandla elanga yilawo amukele izinqubomgomo zomphakathi eziqinile ze-pro-solar noma atholakala ezifundazweni ezenze njalo, kanti ucwaningo luthi imiphumela yalo iza phakathi nokuhlehla kokuphathwa kukaTrump kwezinqubomgomo zombuso zenkathi ka-Obama ukuthi zisebenze ngokuguquka kwesimo sezulu futhi zikhuthaze. amandla avuselelekayo.
Kodwa-ke, lo mbiko uphawula ukuthi ngisho namadolobha abone impumelelo enkulu yelanga asenamandla amakhulu angakasetshenziswa. Isibonelo, umbiko uthi iSan Diego ithuthukise ngaphansi kwe-14% yamandla ayo obuchwepheshe wamandla elanga ezakhiweni ezincane.
Ukuze basebenzise amandla ezwe elanga kanye nokuyisa i-US emnothweni oxhaswe amandla avuselelekayo, idolobha, izifundazwe kanye nohulumeni wobumbano kufanele basebenzise uchungechunge lwezinqubomgomo ze-solar, ngokusho kocwaningo.
"Ngokusebenzisa amandla elanga emadolobheni ezweni lonke, singanciphisa ukungcola futhi sithuthukise impilo yomphakathi kubantu baseMelika nsuku zonke," kusho uBret Fanshaw ne-Environmental America Research and Policy Center. "Ukufeza lezi zinzuzo, abaholi bedolobha kufanele baqhubeke nokwamukela umbono omkhulu welanga ophahleni lwezindlu kuyo yonke imiphakathi yabo."
"Amadolobha ayabona ukuthi amandla ahlanzekile, endawo futhi athengekayo anengqondo," kunezela u-Abi Bradford neFrontier Group. “Sekuwunyaka wesine ilandelana, ucwaningo lwethu lukhombisa ukuthi lokhu akwenzeki emadolobheni anelanga eliningi, kodwa nakulawo anemigomo ehlakaniphile yokweseka lolu shintsho.”
Enkulumweni ememezela lo mbiko, izimeya zezwe lonke zizwakalise imizamo yedolobha labo yokwamukela amandla elanga.
“Ilanga ezinkulungwaneni zemizi nezakhiwo zikahulumeni lisiza i-Honolulu ukuba ifinyelele imigomo yethu yamandla esimeme,” kusho uMeya uKirk Caldwell waseHonolulu, okleliswe endaweni enguNombolo 1 wamandla elanga ngomuntu ngamunye. “Ukuthumela imali phesheya kwezilwandle ukuze kuthunyelwe uwoyela namalahle esiqhingini sethu esishiswa ilanga unyaka wonke akusawenzi umqondo.”
“Ngiyaziqhenya ukubona i-Indianapolis ihola izwe njengedolobha elikleliswe endaweni yesine lamandla elanga kumuntu ngamunye, futhi sizibophezele ekuqhubekeni nobuholi bethu ngokuhlela izinqubo zokuvumela kanye nokusebenzisa izindlela ezintsha nezintsha zokukhuthaza ukukhula kwamandla elanga,” kusho iMeya yase-Indianapolis. UJoe Hogsett. “Ukuthuthuka kwamandla elanga e-Indianapolis akuzuzisi kuphela umoya wethu namanzi kanye nempilo yomphakathi wethu - kudala amaholo aphezulu, imisebenzi yasendaweni futhi kugqugquzele intuthuko yezomnotho. Ngibheke ngabomvu ukubona i-solar eyengeziwe ifakwe ophahleni lwezindlu kulo lonke elase-Indianapolis kulo nyaka, nasesikhathini esizayo.”
"Idolobha laseLas Vegas sekuyisikhathi eside lihamba phambili ekusimameni, kusukela ekukhuthazeni izakhiwo eziluhlaza kanye nokuvuselela ukusetshenziswa kwamandla elanga," kusho iMeya yaseLas Vegas uCarolyn G. Goodman. "Ngo-2016, idolobha lafinyelela umgomo walo wokuthembela ngamaphesenti angu-100 kumandla avuselelekayo kuphela ukuze kusetshenziswe izakhiwo zikahulumeni wethu, izibani zasemgwaqweni kanye nezinsiza."
“Ukusimama akumele kube umgomo osephepheni; kufanele kufezwe,” kuphawula u-Ethan Strimling, imeya yasePortland, eMaine. "Kungakho kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi singagcini nje ngokusungula izinhlelo ezisebenzayo, ezinolwazi nezilinganisekayo zokukhuphula amandla elanga, kodwa nokuzibophezela ekusetshenzisweni kwazo."
