When solar comes to town, the local economy wins: more jobs, stronger public services, steady income for landowners, and the power to attract new industry. Here's what that looks like. ⬇️
Solar energy isn't a red or blue issue.
75% of utility solar power is located in Republican districts, bringing jobs, tax revenue, and investment to local communities.
Solar power is the fastest way to expand access to affordable and reliable energy. We can’t afford to let bureaucratic red tape keep it offline.
@DavidRMalpass, former World Bank President and Trump Treasury official, states it plainly in the Washington Examiner: we must fix permitting.

Will we need solar???
Been researching lately.
America needs to use every power source available to fuel America's expansion - AI, Military, Transportation etc. they all rely on American energy!
Traditional power sources like gas, coal, and nuclear are vital.
But they can't scale fast enough!
If it’s done the right way, solar could be super helpful. ONLY if it’s not majorly expensive.
This is a partnership with American Energy First!

America’s energy demand is surging, driven by modern manufacturing, economic growth and AI data centers. We need to use every power source available to fuel America’s expansion.
Traditional power sources like gas, coal, and nuclear are vital. But they can’t scale fast enough.
We the people need to contact our government and oppose the new tariffs that would raise energy prices!

“The affordable choice and the popular choice are becoming the same choice.”
Made-in-America solar energy is affordable, fast to build and popular. According to a poll from @CenterlineAmer and @CRESenergy, 79% of voters across party lines want solar power to be a bigger part of America’s energy mix.

NEW POLL from @CenterlineAmer and @CRESenergy: Most Republicans support solar power.
Voters across both parties agree that preserving America’s affordable energy dominance means investing in renewables like solar.

GOP Pollster Alex Lundry: “It is obvious that most Americans think that expanding renewable energy is the right direction for the country.”
Most Americans have common sense, and that shows when it comes to how they feel about solar power. It’s affordable, reliable and quick to build. It’s why 79% agree it should be a part of our made-in-America energy mix.

In Idaho, Jeff Hough, a Republican County Commissioner, is pushing to overturn his county's ban on utility-scale solar and wind—and local farmers are backing him.
Their case is simple: These projects can bring new tax revenue to rural communities and put more money in the pockets of family farmers. For Bannock County, that means keeping more opportunity—and more $$—at home.
"We cannot deny the entire county the opportunity to exercise their property rights," Hough said. “That goes against the principles this country was founded on.”

Americans agree that a robust, all-of-the-above American energy mix is foundational to our nation’s success. No matter their party registration, voters recognize that solar power has to be a part of that mix.
It’s affordable, reliable and quick to build, making it indispensable to America’s efforts to compete on energy production with China.
What do American voters really think about the future of energy?
The latest Centerline Liberties poll shows broad, bipartisan agreement: voters want more renewable energy to lower costs and expand the nation's energy supply. ⬇️

National security expert @ArthurLHerman in @NRO: “An energy grid, a military base, or an allied economy that draws on multiple sources — natural gas, nuclear, and solar among them — is harder to coerce or neutralize.”
Energy diversification is key to national security.

Fmr @realDonaldTrump advisor @ManishaSingh in @TheBlaze says that America needs to embrace a policy of energy abundance, not ideology, to win the AI race against China:
“The United States cannot afford an ideological energy policy. Whether the resource is natural gas, nuclear power, #solar, battery storage, or the critical minerals needed to build advanced technologies, domestic supply should be treated as a strategic asset.”

Former U.S. Representative @Jasoninthehouse in @OANN: “The United States shouldn’t only be keeping up with China on #solar energy; it should be outpacing it and the rest of the world, just as it does with crude oil and natural gas…The more energy America can produce at home, the stronger and more resilient its economy will be — and the more jobs it will create.”

“It’s time to retire the disingenuous talking points and recognize #solar plus storage for what it truly is: a reliable, economical, and indispensable cornerstone of American energy infrastructure.” Read @realDonaldTrump Advisor @DavidJUrban in @RC_Markets:

“It’s time to stop the zero-sum game. Embracing #solar and storage isn't a surrender to the radical left. It’s a common-sense embrace of 21st-century American ingenuity. If we want to keep the lights on and the prices down, we need to stop arguing about the weather and start talking about the engineering.”

How is #solar powering the American economy?
➡️ $333 billion in investments
➡️ 703,000 jobs supported
➡️ $1.8 billion annually flowing to communities across the country

Texas’ power grid is built for summer heat waves thanks to solar energy. At a @BreitbartNews policy event last week, @T1Energy CEO Dan Barcelo noted that on hot summer days, utility-scale solar energy powers over 50 percent of Texas’ grid, saying solar power’s “scalability” and “zero marginal costs” are key strengths for its widespread adoption across the Lone Star State.

“It’s time for America to achieve true energy independence. That can only be done when we unleash the dynamism of a true all-of-the-above energy strategy.”
Former Chief of Staff for the National Security Council @FredFleitz in @DailyCaller makes the case: America strengthens its energy security when it uses every tool available—gas, nuclear, and increasingly, #solar. As global instability drives price spikes and risk, expanding domestic solar helps reduce reliance on foreign energy and keeps power affordable and reliable at home.

The “rapid expansion of solar and energy storage is not driven by mandates. Instead, right-leaning states recognize these resources are among the fastest and lowest-cost ways to meet rising electricity demand, strengthen the grid, and support economic growth.”
@HispLeadFund president Mario Lopez in @Townhallcom discusses how red states are leading on #solar and storage.
An all-of-the-above energy strategy is how America meets demand and competes globally.

“While Trump voters’ support for #solar may seem surprising, Republicans have long embraced an all-of-the-above approach to energy policy. Letting the free market work and choose solutions with the lowest costs and shortest timelines could not be any more consistent with conservative principles.” @ConsEnergyNet’s CEO in @DCExaminer: washingtonexaminer.com/opini…
