Policy & Market Development, CleanCapital. Energy nerd. Political junkie. Making American energy cleaner, faster. SEIA & CELI alum. Views = my own.
Thousands of American jobs are on the line. Billions in clean energy investment are at risk. Looming electricity capacity shortages will drive up American energy bills.

The reconciliation bill threatens to derail homegrown U.S. energy development at the worst possible moment.

This will send chills through the energy and banking space. A permitted project, under construction — shut down by executive fiat
The federal government’s stop-work order for Empire Wind 1, New York’s largest energy infrastructure project in 50 years, goes against the federal administration’s own prioritization of independent and locally produced energy. Read my full statement. ⬇️

Two Truths and Lie:

Lie: All solar is made in China.

Fact: American solar module factories can now produce enough to meet nearly all demand for solar in the U.S.

Fact: @solarindustry.bsky.social reports that the U.S. now ranks 3rd in manufacturing of solar panels.

An important read.

Investments take a long time to materialize.

Tens of thousands of jobs, billions of dollars of investment, and years of state and local tax revenue are on the line.
