Permitting, Affordability & the GOP Solar Shift with Heather Reams
If you want to know what's happening in the policy and energy debate inside Washington, D.C. — there's no better voice than Heather Reams. Heather is President and CEO of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES), one of the very few center-right advocacy organizations in the country making the conservative case for clean energy. She spends her days walking the halls of Capitol Hill, talking to Republican members of Congress, and translating what the solar, storage, and clean tech industries need into language that lands on both sides of the aisle. In this conversation at the UNC Cleantech Summit, Heather sits down with Nico to unpack what's actually being said about energy inside the Beltway right now — and why the Republican narrative on clean energy is shifting in ways almost nobody in the industry predicted eight months ago.
