This is your SolarWakeup for May 3rd, 2016

EEI (utility trade association) says “Vision without execution is just hallucination.” Let’s talk about their vision and execution because the execution shows that the vision seems to end at the next quarter. Over $100bb in grid investments per year and $90mm in EV fleet investments with a whopping 740 charging stations. That’s a 1000 to 1 ratio between betting against distributed generation and growing demand by competing with oil companies. So look at conglomerates like Berkshire that have fought distributed solar all over America including Washington, Utah, Iowa and Nevada. Let’s have a vision that helps consumers and doesn’t push ratebase up for the wrong reasons.
