David Bywater: For a ‘Life Elevated’ tomorrow, Utah needs clean energy today

If someone asked you to name the top cities for solar in the U.S., you’d probably think of cities in warm, sunny states like Hawaii, California or Arizona. Yet, in my role heading one of the country’s largest residential solar companies, which happens to be headquartered in Lehi, I wasn’t surprised to read that Salt Lake City ranked 11th among top solar cities in the United States. That’s higher than Los Angeles, San Francisco and Austin.

Utah has made great strides in recent years powering homes and businesses with renewable energy and creating thousands of clean energy jobs in our state.
