Anyone who pays an electric bill in California knows we’re in the midst of an energy crisis. ⚡ This crisis is enabled by politicians who lack the will to do something about it. But unlike many politicians, Sam Liccardo took action to lower electric bills when he was the Mayor of San Jose. Now, as a candidate for U.S. Congress, Sam plans to tackle these energy affordability problems on both a state level and national scale. Join me on this week’s Energy Show in the U.S. Congress candidate Sam Liccardo talks about his work on real-world solutions to sky-high energy costs: https://buff.ly/3TGEYYW #TheEnergyShow #CinnamonEnergySystems #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #SolarEnergy

Swinging for the fences with my 2024 Solar & Storage predictions! ⚾️ As I gear up for my 21st year at RE+ (formerly Solar Power International), I took a look back at my bold predictions for the year. Here’s how I scored: 1️⃣ EVs with integrated 240-volt generators? Just two models so far—Ford Lightning and Tesla Cybertruck. Automakers, wake up! (K) 2️⃣ Heat pump sales surging by 25%? Nailed it, despite IRA rebates still being MIA. (H) 3️⃣ Clean energy manufacturing plant delays? Unfortunately, spot on. Political uncertainty is slowing progress. (H) 4️⃣ Net Metering’s demise spreading beyond California? Yes, and it’s not good news for solar. (H) 5️⃣ California residential solar revenues plunging by 50%? Sadly, this happened, with battery storage also taking a hit. (H) 6️⃣ A national-scale solar company filing for bankruptcy? SunPower couldn’t hang on. (H) 7️⃣ Tesla entering the U.S. inverter market? They’ve made significant strides against established giants. (H) 8️⃣ Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and Vehicle to Grid (V2G) stalling? Missed this one—pilot programs are rolling out, though the economics are questionable. (K) 9️⃣ Residential battery system consolidation? Not quite yet; it’s still a mixed bag. (BB) 🔟 Game over for fossil fuels? A big swing and a miss—fossil fuels are still going strong. (K) I’m batting .667 on these predictions—what do you think of these trends? #SolarPredictions #EnergyTrends #REPlus2024 https://lnkd.in/g8Zpmz8t
