A breath of fresh air to have a Governor who understands the need for disruption to change the status quo energy affordability crisis, and the critical role solar has to play in that. @massgovernor.bsky.social is in this with us.

I'll be speaking about @votesolar.bsky.social's take on maximizing energy demand (load) flexibility at RE+, and just generally hanging out there. Who else is going this year? Don't make me go looking for friends in Vegas.

The Trump Administration's continued attack on kitchen table affordability, consumer choice and energy development. This is illegal, but will still have a costly impact on Solar for All.
Breaking News: The Trump administration is preparing to terminate $7 billion in federal grants intended to help low- and moderate-income families install solar panels on their homes, according to people briefed on the matter.
E.P.A. Moves to Cancel $7 Billion in Grants for Solar Energy
If finalized, the move would escalate the Trump administration’s efforts to claw back billions of dollars in climate grants awarded under President Biden.

This bill will raise electric bills and slow energy and broader economic growth, but the one thing it cannot and will not do is stop the clean energy transition. Solar, wind and batteries are the only answer to our growing energy demand, both technically and economically.

The bill the Senate is voting on right now would reduce US power generation through 2035 by 300GW, raise wholesale & retail power prices, increase household energy costs, reduce national GDP, & kill 100s of 1000s of jobs.
