This is your SolarWakeup for August 23rd, 2019

But Why? In an unfortunate and entirely predictable move, the DNC voted to not host a climate debate. This will change, of course, because people are angry that they are not getting the discussion they want. I don’t understand why people don’t do the obviously right thing before people get up in arms. 

A Bold Plan. Senator Sanders has his climate plan and it doesn’t lack ambition. 100% carbon free energy by 2030 and carbon neutral economy by 2050. One of the interesting ideas is doing it all on the Federal government’s balance sheet and selling the electricity through the market. Essentially, this is a national feed in tariff or PPA plan which should go a long way to lowering capital costs. Also interesting is this is all prefaced with calling climate change a national emergency therefore giving the President broad authority to act. 

New Tweak To Green Tariffs. Separately but in similar fashion, North Carolina and Virginia is allowing large users to negotiate directly with generators. Not all is settled on the rules and dispute since you can imagine how Dominion feels about this. 

Checking In On TV. Sunpower’s CEO is interviewed about the solar market and the impact of tariffs on the market. Good use of 5 of your minutes today.
