Some of the sunniest states in the country are actively
blocking rooftop-solar development
through overtly lacking and destructive policy landscapes, according to a
Center for Biological Diversity report.
10 states that are blocking distributed solar potential
through overtly lacking and destructive distributed solar policy.
These 10 states — Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana,
Michigan, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia — account for more than 35
percent of the total rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) technical potential in the
contiguous United States, but only 6 percent of total installed distributed
solar capacity, according to a March 2016 report released by National Renewable
Energy Laboratory (NREL) and data provided by the U.S. Energy Information
Agency.
