Trump Cut The Solar For All Program – What Does That Mean?
This program would have funded thousands of installations, allowing people to access solar panels no matter how much they made or where they lived

Here are three things you need to know about how net metering works.

There’s no denying that powerful actors (or countries) have stepped away from their responsibility to the planet.
But it’s not all bad news. There are some surprisingly positive developments afoot when it comes to the environment.

Why turn to dirty, expensive fuels when renewable energy can keep electricity prices affordable and stable?

Solar for All represents a generational opportunity to cut skyrocketing power bills, create new good jobs, and equip our communities to address the causes and consequences of a changing climate.

It wasn’t gas or oil that kept our electricity grid secure during abnormally hot weather, it was solar.

Phil Coupe has been on the cutting edge of clean solar energy for the past 20 years. As co-founder of ReVision Energy, he wants to get the word out about the possiblities.

“Communities across New England have been living in the shadow of polluting fossil fuel plants for decades,” said CLF President Brad Campbell. “Slashing emissions from these power plants is an essential step to meeting our climate goals and cleaning up the air in these communities. We can’t afford to allow this damaging pollution to continue, and EPA’s approach proposes to drive down those emissions over time and will increase opportunities for proven technologies like solar and wind.”

“We must reform Vermont’s renewable energy rules if we’re serious about meeting our climate goals and slashing dangerous pollution in our communities,” said CLF attorney Chase Whiting. “A portion of our electricity comes from out-of-state fossil fuel plants that pollute communities’ air, destroy our planet, and take hard-earned money from Vermonters. This is unacceptable. It’s time to update these rules to ensure our electricity comes from new clean energy sources like wind and solar, especially those that bring new jobs to Vermont.”

But if history is any guide, we shouldn’t hold our breath for ISO-New England to take climate change seriously.
