First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. That was Ghandi’s quote which rings amazingly true today in solar. Idaho Power (IDAHO!!!) which has no solar policies or market to brag about is cutting the PURPA contracts from 20 to 2 years. Why? Because solar has gotten so cost effective and investable that even the PURPA rates in Idaho’s solar irradiance can make financial sense. That’s insane and true at the same time. Look at the rundown today, Idaho, NC, NV, SC and Australia are all fighting. Next stop, victory!
