Solar for All is under attack. This $7B program is meant to expand clean energy access for nearly 1M families. The EPA is trying to cancel it. We joined partners in sending letters to AGs in 21 states urging them to fight back. Read the letters and take action: votesolar.org/solar-for-al...

Local solar and batteries are a no-regrets response!
Electricity prices are rising more than twice as fast as overall inflation. That's especially costly during the dog days of summer when air conditioners are working hardest. .

Electricity prices are rising more than twice as fast as overall inflation. That's especially costly during the dog days of summer when air conditioners are working hardest. In addition to hot weather, a variety of factors are causing power bills to climb, including the high cost of natural gas used to generate electricity and soaring demand from data centers.

What if instead of waiting years for new power plants, we could meet rising energy demand by turning homes and communities into clean energy hubs?

Truth to power, @votesolar.bsky.social In fact, ensuring that everybody benefits from and has a stake in our clean energy future is exactly what will make the grid stronger, more resilient and more affordable for everyone.
🧵It’s crucial to recognize that achieving equity in the clean energy transition is not just an ‘add-on’ —it’s at the core of the work we do.

I wish Drumpf's administration was just a passing cloud, but at least the sun still shines on and can be the cure for a lot of what ails us. @votesolar.bsky.social will lean hard into our strategy for an affordable, equitable and rapid transition to clean energy. Be on the right side of history!
Despite concerns about federal clean energy initiatives, we remain committed to solar solutions by working at the state level.

Here’s why solar could expand under Trump — and why some are worried
Trump’s rhetoric has largely forgone solar energy specifically. In fact, it’s an industry that grew by 128% under his first administration.
