Trump is coming for renewable energy-but the solar industry isn't worried
Briefly

President Trump's energy policy emphasizes fossil fuels, reducing support for renewable energy like wind farms. Despite this, the solar industry is optimistic due to solar's rapid deployment potential and cost-effectiveness. Industry experts, such as George Strobel, argue that solar energy is now as cheap as natural gas and can be built significantly faster. With current concerns regarding grid reliability and resilience, solar can provide necessary microgrids quickly, in contrast to the longer development time for new natural gas facilities.
President Donald Trump prioritizes fossil fuels, cuts renewable energy funds, and opposes wind farms, but the solar industry remains optimistic about its potential.
Solar energy is competitive with natural gas, can be built quickly, and is seen as vital for addressing current energy production and grid resilience concerns.
George Strobel highlights that solar projects can be completed within two years, significantly faster than natural gas facilities, which take about five to six years.
Strobel emphasizes solar's role in maintaining grid resilience, offering a quick solution during critical times when concerns about grid reliability are rising.
