'With electricity demand set to jump significantly, a knee-jerk rejection of any energy source, including solar, is counterproductive to U.S. interests, especially as competition with China continues.' @MarioHLopez op-ed in @dallasnews: bit.ly/4onfP3O

This is not the time to give up on solar in Texas

State has proven that expanding energy sources leads to lower costs.

Why join Solar Powers America? Kent W shared he enjoys the savings solar brings: “I advocate for solar because it's the best option for homeowners to be self-sufficient with clean energy. I power our family's home and EV with clean solar energy and save money at the same time”

Solar and related batter installs made up 91% (!) of all new energy added to the U.S. grid in Q1 — and that’s mostly before the war and after Trump ripped out subsides in the IRA.

A reliable grid starts with MORE GENERATION. And you can thank solar and storage for that. canarymedia.com/articles/cle…

The grid is in better shape this summer. Thank solar and batteries.

Nationwide grid reliability has improved since last summer — and new solar and batteries, not aging coal plants, are the main reason.

Despite the political attacks and regulatory slowdowns... solar and storage were still 91% of all new grid capacity added in Q1. Why? "Because solar is cheaper." Breaking Point's @RyanGrim and @emilyjashinsky explain👇
