Our solar opponents often want to get solar to get sidetracked by answering their asinine commentary from paid for legislators. More importantly, they hate good news like the IPO for a solar specific yieldco, TerraForm, released by SunEdsion. SunEdison has come a long way from its start thanks to working with new management and activist investors. This success led to raising the range of the IPO price, and that’s great news for everyone in solar.
Programming note: I will be taking off from SolarWakeup next week, but you will be not miss any solar news action, but that is why you’re getting a bonus edition today. Glenna Wiseman of Identity3, SolarChat and Women4Solar will be pinch hitting for me. She will pick the stories and write the blurb. You can still email stories my way and I will pass them along.
