"Pulling the plug on Solar for All would shortchange Virginia’s families and communities, waste taxpayer dollars, and set back our state’s progress toward energy independence." Great article in The Virginia Mercury by Solar United Neighbors: virginiamercury.com/2025/08/25/don…

If we wrapped the entire planet in solar, we would produce more power in one HOUR than the world consumes in a YEAR. It's not either/or... its both/and.

Unfortunately, this is just one tweet in a large pattern of misinformation attacks from this Administration against solar energy. We all need to stand up and correct the record.

Aging infrastructure, spiking energy demand, and worsening natural disasters are creating new challenges for the electric grid. SEIA’s new release outlines how America can maximize the affordability and reliability with solar and storage⤵️ seia.org/news/reliabili…

They’re driving up your electricity prices and are desperate to find someone to blame. Our message to the Trump Admin: talk all you want about clean energy... but solar & batteries will still be 80% of everything built over the next 5 years because customers demand it.

Last week at RE+, I was energized to join nearly 40k solar + storage leaders who are driving our industry forward. This was only my second RE+, but even in the midst of fed. policy uncertainty, the tenacity and optimism on display were remarkable. I can't wait for next year.

Billions of dollars in funding targeted by HR1/OB3 were meant for upgrading our grid and building crucial transmission lines. How can this Admin. be serious about providing enough affordable energy when they try to cut vital programs like these? thehill.com/policy/energy-…

The Administration is restricting energy generation from America's grid when we can least afford it. And the American people are going to pay for it. READ SEIA's latest blog post: seia.org/blog/anti-sola…

The only state in the US that has seen their electricity prices fall since 2019 is North Dakota. Over the same period: - Wind generation is up 34% - Solar generation is up 425% - Coal generation is down 8%

Yesterday, 143 companies sent a letter urging Congress to work with DOI to end their de-facto moratorium on solar projects on both federal and private land, and to ensure that fairness and certainty remain at the center of permitting negotiations. bit.ly/4oDt0vR
