Despite some optimistic assessments, doubt still haunts solar sector
Scott Weiner is troubled by a lot of the rhetoric he hears about New Jersey’s efforts to promote solar energy, particularly what he called the pejorative terms used to describe incentives and subsidies supporting the sector.
According to the past president of the Board of Public Utilities (BPU), “Where we are today should be a cause of celebration.”
Weiner made that statement to a group of state officials and industry executives at a meeting in Bordentown on Friday, where the chief topic was how the state should finance its programs to spur greater reliance on clean energy sources, such as solar, and ways to reduce energy consumption in the state.
