Thank you, SELC!

VICTORY: A federal judge has ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency unlawfully canceled the $7 billion Solar for All program, striking down the agency’s decision to end a nationwide program designed to lower electricity bills and bring affordable solar power to families and communities across the country.

“The court ruled the Trump Administration never should have terminated Solar for All because Congress intended it to continue, and EPA broke the law when it killed the program and pocketed the money,” said SELC Senior Attorney Nick Torrey. “Electricity bills are skyrocketing, so low-cost solar projects — which guarantee big savings — are needed now more than ever. Today’s victory means EPA must stop sitting on the $7 billion in funding for this program and start getting it out into communities to provide hardworking American families much-needed relief.”

Gov. Josh Stein officially proclaimed this week as Clean Energy Week in North Carolina, citing clean energy's contribution to the state's job market and economic development. North Carolina ranks No. 8 in the country for clean energy jobs and No. 1 for clean energy jobs in rural areas.

"The cost of electricity for residential consumers is increasing, and energy demand is growing; solar and wind energy are among the cheapest forms of energy generation to build and maintain," Stein said in the proclamation.

How did you celebrate Clean Energy Week?
