Better policies would help solar industry shine

Re: Colorado Ranks 10th in Solar Capacity Per Capita, Sept. 3:

Thank you for your article highlighting the recent report on Colorado’s national ranking for solar power capacity. The report reveals that Colorado ranks 10th nationally, a fact that Coloradans like myself should (and do) take pride in. However, with the amount of sunlight Colorado receives each year, we should be much higher on that list. The local political environment needs to be more favorable towards the solar industry in order for Coloradans to enjoy the economic and environmental benefits of solar electricity.

Policies like net…
