To see the impact of solar on politics, take a look at the short first article today. Hillary Clinton met with the Las Vegas Sun to go over Nevada electoral issues and the solar net metering/PUC topic was first on the list. She dodged the question a bit but also entered some knowledge into the record. It appears that the Solar Foundation’s job census is now on every campaign manager’s desk (hats off to them) about the impact of solar jobs in each state. Based on my count, President Obama will invite a solar professional to the State of the Union for the second time and may drop some more research in this year’s speech.
