Who’s Against Clean. That’s Tim Pawlenty’s opening message to the mainstream media as the new CEO of SEIA. A decade ago when Abby Hopper started at SEIA, SolarWakeup was one of the first interviews in what at the time was a rather divided solar industry. Today’s messaging is more mainstream and it’s a great result of the work that the industry has done over the last 10 years. We’re big, profitable, important and affordable. Are there divides amongst opinions inside the sector? Sure, but what got us here isn’t what is going to get us there. Who’s against solar? That’s our next decade to scale and execute on.
