Does the White House care? I think that SEIA with about 1,000 solar supporters should go to the lawn of the White House. The White House may not care about solar according to the America Has a Stupid Energy Policy so it is up to us to make the job growth political. The Koch’s are doing a great job politicizing 400 coal mining jobs when States like Florida added 1,700 solar jobs last year. We have to bring the message to the White House and the national media will cover it. The twice as many as coal, more than other fossil combined messages just don’t work.
Take it a step further. If you really want to make an impact and we should, then we should work with like-minded people. Your suppliers, lawyers, bankers, etc. do you know where they stand? Are they okay with the approach this administration is taking regarding solar? You get to choose the people you work with and if they aren’t looking out for your best interests, maybe you should go elsewhere. Best way to do that is look at their personal twitter accounts, tough to hide your views on that platform.
