Data shows an increased demand for clean energy in #America. But without proper state and local #permitting reform to facilitate our country's clean energy transition, opposition-spread misinformation could block billions in #RenewableEnergy investments. bit.ly/3VEKtWZ

This month's #MidtermElections proved that politicians being pro-climate is no longer a liability, as Democratic wins across the US set the stage for more ambitious #RenewableEnergy legislation at the state level. bit.ly/3Esar8V
We're thrilled to introduce Bantam's new Account Director Kelly Ferguson! Kelly brings a wide set of skills gained from years of agency work and a passion for creating meaningful strategies across her client's clean energy projects. Please join us in giving her a warm welcome🎉
If the US's goal is #carbonneutrality, we must be cautious of the waste created along the way. In search of the best path forward, the @NREL recently explored multiple potential solutions to minimize our carbon intensity during the #renewableenergy boom. bit.ly/3UU2z6K
An #energystorage surge largely attributed to the #IRA is on the US's horizon. However, projected progress and growth speed could power down if we do not address challenges related to supply chain, modeling, interconnection, and permitting bottlenecks. bit.ly/3UMe682

Wind supporters will vote to overturn a wind energy ban in Crawford County early this month. If upheld, the ban, backed by anti-wind groups posing as locals to spread misinformation, would impede rural Ohio's progress in the fight against #climatechange. bit.ly/3DN4q7r
Solar energy supporters in Puerto Rico and across the US are hopeful that the resilience and reliability displayed by #solarpower during Hurricanes Fiona and Ian will help spur government-aided solar progress across the country. politi.co/3TBziNY
A rule proposed by the @USFWS could mean improvements to the wind industry's longstanding eagle conservation efforts are on the horizon. If accepted, the rule would streamline #windenergy developers' incidental take permitting processes. bit.ly/3VyDq2s
An emerging pattern in small-town Ohio points to the dangers of widespread #solar #misinformation as opposition members continue impacting local officials' stances on proposed solar developments. bit.ly/3Mi863T
The Bantam Team is delighted to welcome Holly Porter to the firm as our new Director of Research & Strategy. Welcome aboard, Holly! 🎉
While California leads the nation in solar capacity, the recent record-breaking blackout highlighted the need for increased energy storage capabilities to resolve mismatches between supply and demand. wapo.st/3S7DUdH
