SEIA’s Abby Hopper on Year One of the IRA and the future of solar

On this episode of the Good Energy podcast, Solar Energy Industries Association president and CEO Abigail Ross Hopper stops in to talk about the one-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act. SEIA and Hopper were key players in crafting the landmark legislation. She talks about how the ambitious goals she set for the industry in 2020 are already outdated and how the IRA is accelerating the transition to clean energy. But even as the legislation transforms the American economy, the speed of change is causing turbulence, including skilled labor shortages and misinformation. She also talks about how other countries are reacting to the U.S. leadership in renewables.
