Clean energy isn’t losing the economics game—it’s losing the political one.
Jigar Shah returns to SunCast live at RE+ 2025 with an urgent message: the energy transition will stall unless we, as an industry, stop underestimating the role of political power. The economics are there. The technology is there. What’s missing? Unity, speed, and ground-level influence.
This isn’t just another policy chat—Jigar breaks down:
🔹How residential solar can reach $2.50/watt (including storage!)
🔹Why storage-first thinking is flipping the solar script
🔹The staggering $4B political spend from oil & gas—and our paltry $150M
🔹How 70,000 boots on the ground could change everything
You’ll come away from this episode with clarity, conviction, and a checklist for action. “The Oracle” delivers again in a rousing episode live from Las Vegas.
