Vertical rows are the agrivoltaic winner!
“The vertical panels produce slightly less electricity—but with higher value, as generation peaks coincide with morning and late afternoon demand…The crops don't seem to mind the presence of solar panels and they like the wind protection they provide.”

Senate Republicans continue to consider a reconciliation bill that will cut off booming clean energy investment in the U.S.—killing jobs and raising costs on families just as oil prices and electricity demand skyrocket. A thread of just some recent stories on what their bill means for Americans: 🧵

The Republican Finance draft is a head fake and farce. It increases energy costs. Period.
The quick phaseout for solar and wind alone will make energy more expensive, make it harder to compete with China, and kill thousands upon thousands of jobs across the country, mostly in Republican districts.

This is what I mean when I say that tax cuts for the rich end up being paid for by everyone else. 25 years of tax giveaways to the top ends with billionaires like Musk turning around and saying, "Oh gosh, we just don't have enough money for Social Security."

May pal, Amb. Rahm Emanuel, made an important point on @realtimers.bsky.social with @realbillmaher.bsky.social: after Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine and embrace of Putin, democracies can no longer rely on America to be a reliable ally. Many may pursue their own nuclear weapons: Germany, S. Korea, etc.

Trump is prepping an executive order to dismantle the Dept. of Education, directly harming students. It will drain resources from the most vulnerable, skyrocket class sizes, make higher ed more expensive, strip special ed services, and gut student civil rights protections. We won't let this happen.
