The Solar Nation Strategy

Solar Nation has a simple, powerful strategy:

1. Build strong popular support With each new solar citizen, the Solar Nation becomes stronger. As an online advocacy community, we can use this strength to wield political power.

2. Heighten awareness of Solar’s potential and make it a central part of our political dialogue Across America, people are making important energy choices every day. To make intelligent choices they need technical and economic information, but most importantly they need to understand the legislative situation regarding energy in this country. Solar Nation will make solar energy a central issue in state and national politics. We will combine expertise in technical and political issues with sophisticated public relations, media, powerful alliances and old-fashioned politicking to bring about solar-friendly policies at all levels.

3. Focus popular support on key policy changes that empower solar energy We will bring the strength of Solar Nation to bear on legislation that produces solar-friendly policy changes, particularly in states where markets have practically shut Solar out of the mix. Solar Nation can counter vested interests with proven scientific data, giving solar technologies the means to compete. Together, solar citizens can pressure lawmakers to bring to reality a sustainable energy future.
