SolarWakeup: Solar Forecast: Sunny After Some Scattered Clouds

We will be back Monday July 7th from San Francisco!

Continuing the trend from yesterday, catch the buzz words. PSC in Florida says NEM was meant to 'prime the pump' and MI utilities are ready to 'develop subsidy free' programs. But let's get real about how solar impacts low income families. Solar creates price stability and lowers the cost of energy. More importantly, as the NAACP points out in their report, solar is a job opportunity for low and middle class families. Installation jobs are open all over the Country and have an average pay of over $23/hour. The NAACP is right, solar is good for families everywhere, something the author of the top article hasn't studied quite yet.

Have a great day!

For any of you fortunate enough to work on solar policy, your jobs are safe. The daily onslaught of regulatory filings against solar and utility commission (bought by the utilities) games is hard to follow. From the Florida PSC literally denying access to solar in a hearing, Louisiana PSC hiring a utility front for a study, Utilities buying commissioners in Arizona, it is a handful for everyone involved. I tend to track on the higher levels, but I would not have seen the 50 State battle lines in our future but that is where we are heading.

Have a great day!
