For a while "only gas and nuclear can provide needed firm power" was the "serious" position in the US.
It's why people like @mzjacobson were attacked as if they were "heretics". Turns out the heretics were right.
NBC New York featured a NYC resident installing a Bright Saver Flex Panel on his apartment balcony this AM.
He's not the first in NYC---and with the SUNNY Act now passed---he definitely won't be the last! 🌞

American ingenuity is unmatched.
The future belongs to clean energy. We have the tools, the talent, and the drive to build it.
Trump should get out of the way of progress and let American innovation do what it does best.
Power to the people, literally!! ☀️ Bright Saver Co-founder Rupert Mayer helped install our Flex panel featured in this new @ClimateCentral video on plug-in (here, balcony!) solar.

Prof. Sara Hastings-Simon, an energy scientist at the University of Calgary:
“It really opens up the technology to a broader set of people, and makes sure people aren’t left behind in the energy transition.”

Agrivoltaics may sound like something out of a cosmic sci-fi movie. But agriculture and solar panels on the same land makes a heck of a lot of sense.
It’s a new crop for farmers, providing financial stability and helping meet rising energy demand. https://t.co/nBb7d6hKUQ
"At its core, solar is just another tool for farmers—one that doesn’t depend on rainfall, doesn’t fluctuate with global commodity markets, and doesn’t require fuel to produce value."

Progress on clean energy is unstoppable, in red and blue states alike.
The guy in the Oval Office may try to slow us down, but states have the power to decide our own laws, our own investments, and our own future.
