And while Republican lawmakers in Washington have fought to protect coal-fired power plants, opposing President Barack Obama’s efforts to curtail climate-warming carbon emissions, data show their home states are often the ones benefiting most from the nation’s accelerating shift to renewable energy. “This funding will help that mission by supporting industry partners working to integrate, store, and deploy solar energy throughout our electric grid”.
