Vote Solar, an awesome solar advocacy organization, consistently puts on some great solar and clean energy webinars. I just listened in on one last night focused on energy subsidies. The main take-home point on that one was very clear — even the “most comprehensive” energy subsidy evaluations out there leave out a ton of subsidies, and especially subsidies that benefit fossil fuel industries, unfortunately.

Here are a couple more upcoming Vote Solar webinars you might want to check out:

Looking Back on the Stimulus: What did it mean for clean energy?

Michael Grunwald, journalist and recent author of The NEW New Deal, will share his account of one of the most sweeping bills in U.S. history― how it happened, how it’s transforming our energy economy, and how it’s being distorted by the Washington fun house.
