SEIA chief talks tough about money

The head of the Solar Energy Industries Association talked tough at the Solar Power International conference about solar needing to throw money around to have the same sort of visibility and clout in Washngton as the Oil and Coal industries.  I like it.

“In 2008, the oil industry contributed $22 million to political candidates, the utility industry $21 million,” said Mr. Resch. “The solar industry: $138,000. We cannot compete with the entrenched energy interests unless we step up our game.”
