On Earth Day, Policy and Tech Get Highlight. Last Friday was Earth Day and most everyone rallied around the need to do more to fight climate change, enable the energy transition and create a better global diplomatic environment. While some protested at the White House and billionaires texted each other over climate philanthropy and capitalism, the Wall Street Journal focused on the next big thing: CSP, concentrating solar power! I enjoyed that moment of levity and thought you may want to read this breaking news about mirrors in the desert. On another note, it’s policy that will really give the energy market the ability to diversify and create opportunity for the electrification to reach its maximum potential.
