NEM 3.0 gets another day in court The California Supreme Court on August 7 unanimously ruled that a lower court must revisit its earlier decision upholding NEM 3.0, according to nonprofit

The decision on NEM 3.0 by @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's lackeys over at the @californiapuc.bsky.social was DISGRACEFUL and CORRUPT. I am so happy to hear that #California #SupremeCourt has ordered the lower court to revisit the CPUC's misguidance. #Solar www.solarpowerworldonline.com/2025/08/cali...

Why is Gov. Gavin Newsom blocking rooftop solar in California? Follow the money.

It's no surprise that Newsom has been in cahoots with the utilities in an attempt to rid California of rooftop solar, but it's interesting to see a deep-dive into what he's done and how it's been done in order to stave off solar and other renewables in CA. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

โ˜€๏ธThere are 2 million solar roofs in California. Together, they produce 4 Diablo Canyon nuclear power plants AND 5 Hoover Dams of energy...combined. And weโ€™ve still barely scratched the surface of our rooftop solar potential. Share with three friends!

California hits "historic" energy milestone Despite California's expansion of clean energy use, Texas leads in producing the most electricity from renewable energy sources.

California Hits 'Historic' Energy Milestone

"California's success in its clean energy policies is largely down to 'the growth in batteries, solar, and wind in the state combined with the decrease in gas'"

Two-thirds of Californiaโ€™s power now comes from clean energy, making us the largest economy in the world to hit this milestone. With record growth in solar, wind, and storage, plus half a million clean energy jobs, weโ€™re proving a clean future is possible.

We may have won the battle with AB942's loss, but there's still a war to fight. Our current utility model, upheld by the Utilities' ideal of a corporatocracy, is tyrannical and corrupt. Fighting bills like AB942 in the legislature are step one, but to win. We need true reform of the system!

A big thanks to everyone on the #Senate Energy, Utilities, and Communications Committee for getting the bill amended to the point where its 'reformation of NEM' will not affect rooftop solar customers.

This is a big win for the people and for Solar #Energy!

AB942 was effectively defeated in the California Senate Energy, Utilities, and Communications Committee yesterday!

#AB942 would have broken over 2 million #Solar contracts in the state of California, and was watered down in committee yesterday to not include rooftop solar customers!

If you support or even believe in solar, help the idea of #Renewables succeed by letting your local Senator know about AB942's negative effects and ulterior motives. AB942 is not an affordability bill, it is an avenue for the demagogues of the current utility model to DESTROY solar in California.

Even though #Solar is fighting daily battles in #California against the #Utilities and utility-sided LEGISLATORS, it has continued to prove itself time and time again. Bills like #AB942 plan to uproot the solar #Industry by directly affecting those who use #SolarEnergy.

This @caenergyfacts.bsky.social account is obviously run by a Lisa Calderon staffer who wants to promote the notion that AB 942 will do more good than bad. LMAO!
