Virginia is teaching us an important lesson about the future of #solar as states across the country work to meet decarbonization goals. nyti.ms/3ffc8xu

While California leads the nation in solar capacity, the recent record-breaking blackout highlighted the need for increased energy storage capabilities to resolve mismatches between supply and demand. wapo.st/3S7DUdH

The Bantam Team is delighted to welcome Holly Porter to the firm as our new Director of Research & Strategy. Welcome aboard, Holly! 🎉

An emerging pattern in small-town Ohio points to the dangers of widespread #solar #misinformation as opposition members continue impacting local officials' stances on proposed solar developments. bit.ly/3Mi863T

The path to reaching the US' 100% #renewableenergy goals will involve a series of upgrades and expansions to the national transmission system, which experts say will pay for themselves. bit.ly/3emdQwY

A rule proposed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could mean improvements to the wind industry's longstanding eagle conservation efforts are on the horizon. If accepted, the rule would streamline #windenergy developers' incidental take permitting processes. bit.ly/3VyDq2s

Despite remarkable #solarindustry growth, #solar companies appear to overlook the key to maintaining a competitive advantage and long-term success — a diverse workforce. bit.ly/3CJaRGO

Voters will help shape the future of the energy sector by participating in pivotal elections in nine states in need of #cleanenergy #policyreform, including Louisiana, Arizona, and the energy-rich state of Texas. bit.ly/3DocFGV

Solar energy supporters in Puerto Rico and across the US are hopeful that the resilience and reliability displayed by #solarpower during Hurricanes Fiona and Ian will help spur government-aided solar progress across the country. politi.co/3TBziNY

Wind supporters will vote to overturn a wind energy ban in Crawford County early this month. If upheld, the ban, backed by anti-wind groups posing as locals to spread misinformation, would impede rural Ohio's progress in the fight against #climatechange. bit.ly/3DN4q7r

An #energystorage surge largely attributed to the #IRA is on the US's horizon. However, projected progress and growth speed could power down if we do not address challenges related to supply chain, modeling, interconnection, and permitting bottlenecks. bit.ly/3UMe682

If the US's goal is #carbonneutrality, we must be cautious of the waste created along the way. In search of the best path forward, the @NREL recently explored multiple potential solutions to minimize our carbon intensity during the #renewableenergy boom. bit.ly/3UU2z6K

We're thrilled to introduce Bantam's new Account Director Kelly Ferguson! Kelly brings a wide set of skills gained from years of agency work and a passion for creating meaningful strategies across her client's clean energy projects. Please join us in giving her a warm welcome🎉

This month's #MidtermElections proved that politicians being pro-climate is no longer a liability, as Democratic wins across the US set the stage for more ambitious #RenewableEnergy legislation at the state level. bit.ly/3Esar8V

As we work to decarbonize the US's electricity sector, it is vital that we fully understand how our growing solar energy infrastructure impacts wildlife and ecosystems to maximize solar's benefits for all. bit.ly/3U4JopQ

Please join us in congratulating Sarah Ruiz on her promotion to Bantam's Director of Digital & Technology! Sarah has brilliantly led all paid media & web development efforts for our clean energy clients over the last 2 years, and we couldn't be more excited for her next chapter!

Data shows an increased demand for clean energy in #America. But without proper state and local #permitting reform to facilitate our country's clean energy transition, opposition-spread misinformation could block billions in #RenewableEnergy investments. bit.ly/3VEKtWZ
