Earlier this week the Washington Post published a story outlining Edison Electric Institute’s game plan to come after distributed solar. The report isn’t a surprise and the financial backing from the industry participants is something we already knew. Thus far the solar industry has done well thanks to the financial support of some (but not all *cough*). The battle was temporarily lost in two instances in Wisconsin and Arizona with both decisions being challenged in court. Looking forward, we all know how it ends, it just depends on how long it takes.
