Yeah, I got to say, this feels like more of an emotional argument rather than a logical argument.

It just doesn't really totally make sense.

Did they explain why?

I mean, I'm from Oregon, and my parents and the folks I grew up with have been experiencing really unprecedented heat waves for the past couple of summers.

Plus, a lot of homes in the area, including mine, are older, and so they don't have AC.

So the shade that the trees provide is really invaluable.

Okay, so because of the shade, don't cut down the tree, end of episode?

I didn't even realize this was something that you could do, basically like phone a trustworthy expert.

Got it.

So step one, get an expert, call a reputable solar installer.

What's step two?

True.

But Emily, I remember hearing that the Trump administration and the big beautiful bill said,

recently gutted the biggest financial incentives for renewables.

That was the 30% federal tax credit on new solar installations.

So basically, we'll see what happens with the solar industry in the future.

Indeed.

But Emily, you said this was a three-step program.

What's your third step for Darcy?

I love a community solution.
