Fuel oil is so expensive in rural communities for heating homes and businesses. It is INSANE and illegal to cancel funding already approved by Congress before the orange POS took office. #FuckTheFelon #SolarIsGood
"The Alaska Energy Authority and the Tanana Chiefs Conference had each won $62.5 million grants under the program to bring solar power to thousands of homes and dozens of communities in Alaska.

Curtis Thayer, executive director of the energy authority, said Thursday that the program’s termination hurts efforts to reduce costly diesel fuel used in rural Alaska. The fuel is typically transported by barge to provide power in scores of villages.

“I think it is a missed opportunity because we need to displace fuel oil in rural Alaska,” Thayer said, “whether that be (with) wind, solar, hydro, or even small nuclear. If we can just somehow offset the high cost of energy in rural Alaska, then we need to try to do that.”
