Nevada is in the news today. Vivint Solar had plans to expand its presence in the State and create hundreds of news jobs to add to the 6,000 already in the State. The plan is now put on hold due to the anti-competitive behavior by NV Energy. To show that the debate is bi-partisan, the local GOP is trying to get Hillary Clinton to chime in since NV Energy is a Berkshire Hathaway company. All of these topics need answers and that is why I am flying to Las Vegas tomorrow to give the keynote address at the SOMO Conference. I will be going through the top stories in solar today and what the impact to solar contractors is today and in the future.
