There's a quiet revolution in power generation in the USA.

There's a quiet revolution in power generation in the U.S.  Solar power is growing, creating new small businesses and thousands of power generation sites at an exponential rate. 

The primary drag on solar power is getting connected to the technologically ancient, Machiavellian maze we call our power grid. 

While the world's eyes were tuned to the various Republican created disasters a new rule was created that will make the power grid connections go faster and better. 

FERC Hands Down Key Decision; SolarGrowth Explodes in October

“Even though they were overshadowed by the Senate’s historic decision to eliminate the use of the filibuster when it comes to most Presidential nominees — the so-called “nuclear option” — there were some major developments this week at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that are critically important to solar and renewable energy.

First, FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff, who proclaimed earlier this year that, “solar is growing so fast it is going to overtake everything,” announced that he’s officially leaving his position at the end of the week.  Chairman Wellinghoff has been a true champion to solar, and we wish him well in all of his new endeavors.

But before leaving, Wellinghoff presided over one last Commission meeting on Thursday as a new rule was approved by FERC that will expedite and reduce the cost of solar project interconnections, while maintaining the reliability and safety of the electric grid.”
