There is a new bill in the NY state legislature called the solar jobs bill. However, they can name these bills whatever they want. A group of environmental activists heard a panel discussion of the bill that gave the impression that the bill is very limited and perhaps even designed to slow the growth of the solar industry by "Wall Street-ifying" it. We decided to have our own panel discussion on Thursday, January 19th, 7-9 PM at the Community Church at 35th Street between Park & Madison Ave.

Three of the four panelists will be on the show: Anthony Pereira of altPOWER, Inc., John Siciliani of JFS Renewables LLC, and Megan Matson, co-founder and Strategy & Policy Director for LEAN Energy US, a new organization out of California (the #1 solar state). John and Anthony are both past presidents of the New York Solar Energy Industry Association and long-time solar panel installers and have been on Eco-Logic before. They are great at linking policy and business issues and cutting through the jargon. We'll discuss the bill, how good it really is and how it could be made better. What is a "Solar Renewable Energy Credit"? What is "Feed In Tariff"? The final wording of the bill can still be changed; there is still time for voter input. Your input.
