The Energy Fair. Meet me next week in Custer, Wisconsin for the famous Energy Fair as I host a special edition of SolarWakeup Live! sponsored by Panasonic with leaders in Wisconsin’s solar market. This is my first time to this event and would love to meet many of you! More info on the event here
Solar Investor In Congress. Dan McCready is getting a second shot to win the race for congress and he’s being accused of shipping jobs overseas since the solar companies bought Chinese solar panels. That’s a stupid argument. I hope he wins.
Big Jobs. There are many renewable jobs in the US but globally that numbers gets real big real quick.
Green New Deal. We can all agree on the high level goals, more clean energy, less pollution, more jobs and access to all. How do we get there? That’s a question in detail that we need to keep figuring out.
Smart People Talking. Two of the more interesting and smart people in energy talk on the ILSR podcast. Give it a listen.
Have a great weekend and let me know your feedback on the job board.
