A historic deal to shift $41 billion per year out of fossil fuels to clean energy could be agreed tomorrow IF Korea stops blocking. @President_KR, @mofa_kr, Korea must join with other countries and agree on an OECD deal to #StopFundingFossils: tinyurl.com/328knjeh

"The current e-waste bill is from 2007 ... if you think about what we had in 2007 ... our statute we have now didn't cover the electronics we use now." - Rep. @AthenaHollins introducing HF 3566, the 100% e-waste collection bill. WATCH LIVE: youtube.com/watch?v=CG1R1cbv… #mnleg

Now that the #MNPUC gave Xcel Energy permission to rewrite #CommunitySolar contracts, I wonder whose contracts will be next? Organized labor? Corporations often like to find "cost savings" in their personnel budgets...
Update: the Commission adopted the utility proposal but with a $0.03 per kilowatt “adder” for residential customers to cushion the blow. It still amounts to a $700 million cost shift from ratepayers to the cities, schools, and other subscribers.
