For this episode of the Local Energy Rules Podcast, host John Farrell is joined by Justin Baca, Vice President of Markets and Research at the Solar Energy Industries Association, and David Gahl, Executive Director of the Solar and Storage Industries Institute. They discuss how an information gap trips up small solar developers.

Do residents of Decorah, Iowa, have the seven year public power itch? Actually, they’re probably just steamed about two double-digit increases in their electric bills since 2018, when they last considered creating a city-owned electric utility. While that initiative fell short by just three votes, today, the advocates promoting a “yes” vote on the March 4 public power initiative think that anger over Alliant Energy’s lies and bill increases can flip the outcome. | For this episode of the Local Energy Rules Podcast, host John Farrell is joined by Emily Neal, an at-large member of the Decorah city council and a member of the Decorah Sustainability Commission.
