The gap between setting a goal and actually funding the implementation is where these agendas usually fall apart. I want to see if they are adjusting the incentives or just hoping the old rules still work.
Agreed. Policy intent is one thing, but if the interconnection queue is still a mess, the targets are just numbers on a page. Are they actually streamlining the permitting process or just talking about it?
Looks like CARB is hitting a wall. It will be interesting to see if this affects how other states model their own emissions policies if California starts scaling back.
