Disneyland versus Disneyworld. The unlikeliest of circumstances is leading to this headline, understanding that Disneyland is in Southern California and Disneyworld is in Central Florida. One of them has a hurricane emergency plan and the other has an actual hurricane coming its way. From the fire in Maui to the tropical storm hitting SoCal, this has been a crazy weather summer. My 100 degree days are a norm but I tell my friends I’m less worried about storms since the ocean is so warm, they’ve been straying north. Meanwhile doing what we can to keep up with the increased demand for energy is politicized to the point that the political divide makes solar not the obvious choice, and the obvious choice that needs to expand faster. The industry is doing great work, expanding manufacturing, retraining professionals from other sectors and leading the clean energy expansion but that isn’t getting through. So we need to say more about the individual stories and do more as a sector to expand the geographic impact across all of America in a way that changes hearts and minds.
