Dear Renewable Energy Friends and Colleagues:
Many of us have felt overwhelmed by the barrage of daily pronouncements coming from Washington DC over the past month. We are indeed, in a strange place, however, if we can strip away the disturbing political and civil challenges and focus on the zero-emission energy sector, we see the odd bedfellows of America's (arguably, previously) premiere electric car company and a fanatical fossil fuel sector of the populous on the same side. We find a "Drill, baby Drill" message to the US public and a "we are going to make it possible for people to generate and sell their own energy" Presidential statement to India's Modi. The monied elite may be displaying terrifying power, but they also seem to be interested in the inevitability of new energy markets, decentralized power generation, with upgraded transmission and collaborative RTO plans continuing to be developed. Perhaps the advent of Spring will find us all collecting our thoughts and recovering our functionality and effectiveness. Let us come together in solidarity and refocus, the global economy must be in much better shape than we thought if chaotic policies are so blatantly brandished. Sanity may yet prevail. Here are a few Updates that require our continued involvement and advocacy or resistance: Legislative Updates on Climate and Energy
