Big thanks to the warm Bay area welcome from many of you. I appreciate you coming by and saying hello. Back to more robust summaries next week!
Fox, Denies Being A Fox. Wheeler doesn’t like being called a coal lobbyist and the assumption that follows that fact. If you bring a fox into the henhouse and tell the fox that maybe the hens should be eaten, then what are the hens supposed to assume is going to happen? Wheeler was a coal lobbyist. Trump wants to bail coal out and build coal power plants. What does Wheeler expect people will think?
Fighting The Good Fight. I had the pleasure of being with IREC yesterday to get an update on their important work. IREC isn’t always the most visible policy group but when it comes to building the foundation of solar markets, assume IREC was there early. Interconnection for solar and storage, training firefighters and more, IREC is doing it and you should support in any way you can.
Energy Storage Grows. Frank sat in on the Energy Storage Associations presentation yesterday. With GWh scale storage being announced, my guess is that this association grows alongside the market.
