"Corporate Influence in the California Public Utility Commission's Proposed New Tax on Home Solar Energy"

Home solar energy is a key way to address climate collapse and meet California's renewable energy goals. But utility companies are taking aim at what they call "grid defectors" by proposing a tax designed to raise the cost of installation and discourage homeowners and builders alike from making the switch to solar. On the show, Annie and Steve are joined by guests Dave Rosenfeld, Executive Director of the Solar Rights Alliance and Loretta Lynch, former President of the CPUC. Listen or download here.
