This animated piece by Catching The Sun‘s NGO partner, Vote Solar, breaks down two of the most critical policies impacting Americans’ ability to meet their own electricity needs with solar and other renewables.
So who opposes these policies and what can you do?
All across the country, traditional utilities are working to stall consumer solar investment by targeting net metering and rate design to make these options unaffordable.
