Municipalities often mix up intentions and goals. Quite a few promised to be climate neutral 10 years ago, a noble intention but utter nonsense. Many wrote a renewable energy strategy and/or a "transition vision heating", but most of them were no strategies or visions, but simple wish lists. Words matter! and do not over estimate the capabilities of municipalities.

Fully agree. Plenty ambitions but often not thought through e.g. on definitions and scope (see https://rzondervan.substack.com/p/notes-212023) and the TVW's are generally really weak (. Capabilities and capacity generally low - but that is exact why I think that a concious role-determination will help - even if it is just to know what NOT to do.
