Have a great weekend!
A Few Of My Favorite Things. There is an irony in seeing solar skeptics get into solar. Many times this is done quietly until they are successful. I welcome them to the solar industry and I am happy to see a change in perspective. In this case, Calpine won a solar project in Texas.
Something To Ponder. The Kochs have been confusing me recently. Of course, anti-solar (except when it comes to protectionism) but in this case apparently anti-EV. This could be based on the reduction of use of oil. But being anti-EV also means being anti-natural gas becase NG is the fuel of choice for the utility which needs EVs to grow. Maybe it is now a tactic of being anti-Elon Musk.
Arizona Settlements. Regulators recommend accepting the Arizona solar settlement. Next week you will hear from the Arizona SEIA Executive Director on this topic. Stay tuned.
