This is your SolarWakeup for April 18th, 2019

A Development Podcast. Check out the new episode of SolarWakeup Podcast with solar developer, Jim Spano, in which we talk about all things solar in New Jersey as well as his new venture to bring REIT capital to solar. 

Climate At Fox News. Senator Sanders held a town hall on Fox News and did two things we talk about a lot. When asked about national security he pivoted the answer to include climate change and terrorism in the Middle East, a clear signal that he was speaking to the audience of Fox News. Second, as the article says, “Sanders drew cheers when he said transitioning to renewable energy would create millions of new jobs.”

Duke And Solar. Duke is going to add a lot of solar in North Carolina including projects that it self developed. Now to the residential market, maybe we can do more there in the Carolinas including South Carolina!

Both Sides Of The House. Vistra energy is using its energy storage projects in Texas as a legislative tool in Illinois in order to keep their coal plants economical for a few more years. This transition from coal to solar+storage is interesting especially given the valuation that Vistra seems to be tying to their assets. 

Opinion

Have a great day!
