For many companies this is a fight for survival. On the green side it’s a fight for what is right. Guess who will try harder.

Should read the whole article by a journalist that probably knows nothing about the topic to understand which links are relevant and which are not.

Let them, it’s not enough to keep the fossil fuel industry alive. We can kill the industry while they are dependent on it just as well as if they transition to renewables. When the fuel stops coming they’ll switch.
What we need is federal subsidies for companies that operate on 100% renewable energy… Incentivize them to move out of places that won’t drop the ban.

Interesting that there’s no clear political pattern of the restrictions. Apparently some are stronger than others, because San Bernadino in eastern California is tagged, yet Edwards Sanborn Solar Storage Project just went live there. But Texas’s lack of restrictions is helping the massive growth in renewables there. Given that the El Paso area and east is about the best solar site in the US according to the article maps, hopefully that’ll mean some more major solar projects in that area.

Luckily California has a process to get around county approval for certain renewables

It’s amazing how Redneck-America hates anything new, but, then again, that is the textbook definition of being a conservative.
