Solar sa Politika and energy securityBut solar business has been hot this month. Solar as energy source has also been weak in the country this month as it was mostly cloudy and solar dislikes clouds and other shade. Despite these, SP got a second chance, winning one of two bids in the Green Energy Auction (GEA) program of DOE. I am no fan of intermittent renewable energy (RE) like solar and wind for many economic reasons, especially their higher inflation effect. But private energy companies, global and national, have been compromised and tied up with RE laws that made coercive mandates.
