I asked David Roberts, Gristmill editor, how he would feel if I used this site to pimp for issues I’m working on at Vote Solar. Would this be viewed as:
A) Helping Grist readers effectively engage in breaking developments in the environmental world; or
B) crass opportunism?
He said both. I can live with that.
So here goes. If you live in New Jersey, you have an opportunity to help jumpstart solar on the Meadowlands. It seems the Meadowlands Commissioners, tired of being known primarily for Jimmy Hoffa-related issues, are thinking about overshadowing that legacy by installing one of the country’s largest solar-energy systems. Vote is April 10. Read more about it and send them a note of encouragement here.
If you live in Arizona, you might want to know that the state senate is considering a bill that would provide a tax credit for solar systems. Hmm. Solar and Arizona. Sounds like a no-brainer to me. If you agree, read more and share the sentiment here.
