SolarCity has 7,500 employees! More than Facebook apparently, which is incredible. In a tale of two economies, SolarCity is growing and helping fight against the likes of ALEC and AFP while Walmart sits stagnant and continues to fight against solar (while being the largest corporate user of distributed solar to offset costs). So be clear, change is coming, solar can’t borrow at the same rates as utilities and take corporate monopolies but it can be a growth sector for employment while doing good for society. I’ll take the next generation of status quo over the clinging to the past.
