I have a problem with the vocal doubters in solar. Those that doubted that the ITC could get passed. The ones that are always fast to say net metering is going away. The ones that sit and complain every time that there is a microphone in front of them. If you aren’t helping promote solar policy, do us all a favor and quit talking. On Friday, a mission as unlikely as any other once again showed that solar policy groups can get it done. NextEra, owners of Florida Power & Light, went to Hawaii in on a private jet field trip and came back empty handed. (Except for a $95million IOU to HECO) You may not like the methods and you may not like to give your money to help your sector but solar knows how to win.
