Solar for All is under attack. The EPA is moving to dismantle the first-ever federal program investing billions to bring solar energy to communities most impacted by high energy costs. Participating families could save an estimated $400 a year on their energy bills — but those

Solar is now the most affordable electricity in history—cutting bills and creating good jobs. As costs fall, more people can benefit from the clean energy transition. Let’s build a future where community-based solar is affordable and accessible to all.

Average electricity prices have risen from 13.15 cents per kWh in 2020 to 17 cents this year. It may seem like a small increase, but each cent could add $108 to the average U.S. home’s expenses each year. https://t.co/TVvhpuu2ei

Household costs have been going up since 2020 due to an aging grid, natural disasters, and volatile gas prices. Trump is making things worse.

John 17:1 says: " After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: 'Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify You.'" Declare with your voices that the bottom dwellers are exposed and all their evil plots revealed! God Will Avenge Us! ✝️

Solar for All is under attack. This $7B program is meant to cut household bills by $400 a year and expand clean energy access for nearly 1M families. The EPA is trying to cancel it — threatening affordability and equitable access nationwide. We joined partners in sending letters

Vote Solar says industry association fees charged back to ratepayers must be justified, and we stand with them! 🙌 "To date, getting information from the utilities via discovery on industry association activities has been very difficult," - @votesolar

The Trump administration attempting to cancel $7B in Solar for All grants—gutting clean energy jobs, defying court orders, and pulling the rug out from under communities promised lower bills and energy access. This isn’t policy. It’s punishment.
The One Big Beautiful Bill eliminated the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which included a $7 billion pot called “Solar for All”. In some cases, your tax dollars were diluted through up to FOUR pass-through entities, each taking their own cut off the top! The bottom line is

A new proposal from @CMSgov under @DrOz wants to add catheters, ostomy & trach supplies to Medicare’s competitive bidding program. This is a bad idea and will worsen outcomes for seniors & Medicare recipients. My latest in @MedPageToday explains why ⬇️

Limiting urological, tracheostomy, and ostomy supply options will do more harm than good

Virtual power plants (VPPs) connect distributed resources like solar, batteries, and EVs, creating a powerful energy resource. VPPs can meet demand during spikes, using clean energy. It's time to invest in VPPs, not outdated fossil fuel infrastructure, to secure a cleaner future.

NC legislators just betrayed North Carolina families and businesses by overriding Governor Stein’s veto of SB 266 – a bill that hands Duke Energy unchecked power to raise utility rates and charge customers for energy investments that may never be implemented. At a time when

Solar is cutting bills and creating good jobs in one of the fastest-growing industries but Trump’s recently passed budget threatens clean energy progress. Our state-level focus is more important than ever—let’s build a solar future where clean, community-based energy is

Congress’s roll back of the 30% federal solar tax credit for households, not only halts solar progress, but also hits the brakes on economic growth and greenlights higher household electricity bills. Read more here: https://t.co/gRh9VGxj68
