Top To Bottom Green New Deal. The push and pull of the climate/clean energy legislation in Congress is quite interesting. While the green new deal is gaining traction with co-sponsors, it still poses no danger of becoming law with McConnell in charge of the Senate. It does appear to have caused the Select Committee on Climate Change to become the Select Committee on Clean Energy and Global Warming and some are pushing for the Committee to gain access to subpoena power as well.
The New Jersey Details. New Jersey will transition off the decade old SREC program in the near future, with some expecting the cap to be hit in the first quarter of 2019. This has prompted some in the industry to ask for help to alleviate a potential cliff. I asked the person responsible to avert this problem, the President of the NJ BPU, what he thought about his and what could be done. Listen to my interview with Joseph Fiordaliso, the President of the BPU.
