On how they will achieve this: Rhode Island utilities will buy renewable energy certificates in a regional marketplace called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a cooperative effort among 11 states to reduce emissions. So that means renewable electricity providers in the RGGI will generate renewable energy equivalent to 100% of the energy produced by Rhode Island utilities. Key word here is "equivalent". The energy used, produced and consumed in Rhode island will continue to use fossil fuels.
