Great Intersolar panel moderated by @sammyroth.bsky.social. Would’ve loved to see more on DER + VPP progress lowering bills, boosting reliability, and strengthening resilience. Local solar + storage are working. Arnab Pal was right: we need strong policies, proposals, and advocacy. Let’s be ready.

Affordability isn’t just a progressive talking point, it’s about making smart choices and meeting the needs of the communities we serve! Building a clean energy future is the most just, cost effective path; it’s also the way forward to a robust, resilient energy system for the modern economy

“The reason the coal industry is in long-term decline is that #coal is simply no longer an economic resource for electricity generation compared to cheaper alternatives, particularly renewable resources like wind and solar,” said AV Executive Director Tom Cormons. https://loom.ly/W0t0Q4o

​The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized its repeal of the endangerment finding and the rollback of climate emissions standards for light, medium and heavy-duty vehicles. By doing so, the EPA is rejecting settled law and science to benefit polluters.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

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!

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Collateral damage? This won’t hurt just the communities deprived of the investment. We all lose because the grid doesn’t get these flexible resource just when we need them. www.utilitydive.com/news/epa-ter...

The fact remains that solar panels remain the cheapest and most easily deployable technologies available to serve the ever-hungry U.S. power grid. Read more from Vote Solar's Executive Director here: www.canarymedia.com/articles/vir...

🚨 The EPA is preparing to cancel $7 billion in grants awarded through the Solar for All program, which helps low‑ and moderate‑income households access affordable solar solutions. Read our full statement here: votesolar.org/epa-preparin...

www.canarymedia.com/articles/vir... We do have pathways for progress towards an affordable, clean and stable electric grid, even under these circumstances.

My tastebuds are still recovering from channeling my inner Sean Evans at the Vote Solar, CSIS after-party. Served up some scorching hot takes on solar solutions, and let's just say, the wings weren't the only things bringing the heat. Huge thanks to our amazing partners and supporters🌶️

We released an 11-minute documentary that captures the journey of a small Colorado town toward a clean energy future. www.yahoo.com/news/lets-ta...

I'm excited to speak at the Community Solar Innovation Summit this June in Colorado! I'll be joining fellow experts to share insights on distributed solar, collaborate on solutions, and help shape the future of clean, accessible energy. #CSIS2025 #CommunitySolarSummit #DistributedEnergy

America’s energy demand is surging 36% by 2035. 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? We can. It’s called local solar + storage votesolar.org/why-local-so... #DERs #CleanGrid #LocalEnergy

Happy Mothers Day, Suzanne. Rest easy knowing you did your job well. Your boys are thriving. We miss you. Love to all the moms in my life. 💕

At the CA Climate Policy Summit, we made it plain: IOUs are driving up bills, not climate action. Let’s regulate smarter, stop funding utility lobbying, and protect families from shutoffs. Local solar solutions are a critical part of the path forward.

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.

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!
