This is your SolarWakeup for May 25th, 2017

I see what you did there. The President met with Pope Francis yesterday and had the customary opportunity to exchange gifts. Pope Francis is apparently not only a good person but not afraid to speak with subtlety. Pontifex gifted a copy of the ‘Laudato Si’ to the President, the encyclical on climate change. Maybe a good gift to pass around to the Catholic staff in the White House upon his return since Laudato Si lacks graphs and maps containing mostly words outlining human’s impacts on the planet we live on.

Nevada wants to make a comeback. A series of clean energy bills, mostly on storage, have passed the legislature and are heading to the Governor for signature. Yet to come are the net metering and RPS bills that should move towards the Governor relatively soon.

The Energy Storage Road Show is moving forward now scheduling the week of June 5th in Los Angeles!

States will lead. New York Times is highlighting the importance that States will play in the energy space. This is nothing new, as States have shown for many years in solar. Look at New Jersey, Massachusetts and North Carolina in addition to California on how to drive a market adoption of better and cleaner energy.

Opinion

Have a great day!
