The #communitysolar movement has been driven by strong customer demand from those who don't have access to solar today. A great example is the SC Community Program in South Carolina, which serves 900 customers, & sold out within 5 months #SolarSnapShot #CommunitySolarWorks

Myth: Clean energy kills jobs & hurts the economy. Fact: Low-emission and renewable energy sources produce positive, cost-saving economic effects and far more new jobs than their dirty energy counterparts. #CleanEnergy #ClimateChange #SolarJobs #WindPower nyti.ms/2Li0xtC
