Listening Closely. When it comes to the presidential nomination cycle, the race has begun. Each of the aspiring candidates is talking about their renewable energy platforms and what it means to our industry. Pete Buttigieg, Mayor of South Bend Indiana, is getting a national audience on all of the big platforms including Pod Save America and a town hall on CNN. During his Pod Save America interview he spoke more clearly about renewable energy, climate change and the Green New Deal than anyone else on the circuit. Given that we are the same age, I was discounting his ability to cut through the noise but at least on this issue, I want to hear more from the Mayor from an industrial city in the Midwest. If anyone can get coal miners and factory workers to realize that the future of work includes our industry, I think Mayor Pete has a chance. As he puts the Green New Deal, “It correctly situates this as a major national emergency.” Watch the full Pod Save America interview and let’s start a campaign to have Mayor Pete join me on SolarWakeup Live!
