"It's a renaissance we're not ready for."

In 2021 Virginia Solar Summit Executive Producer, Dan French, shared still relevant, important ideas and insights about the practical realities of scaling up the solar energy renaissance, which is already being limited by increasingly problematic human resource issues. How can we have a solar power boom tomorrow if we don't have enough people today? And if you can have a solar power boom without people, does it make a sound?
