For the first time in nearly four decades, we have a meaningful opportunity to catapult the U.S. towards a position of global solar leadership. Our reliance on nonrenewable sources of energy is a big deal. We have seen the sociopolitical power our energy sectors wield globally and locally. The human toll of our reliance on foreign energy has been front and center as the U.S. attempts to wrap up decades of conflict in oil rich regions of the world. Were the U.S. to take decisive action and reclaim global solar leadership, we could simultaneously serve poorer communities that will disproportionately shoulder the impacts of the climate crisis and reverse the economic and human costs of leading from behind. ~ Vaughan Woodruff, ReVision Energy., Pittsfield
