With over 213 days of sunshine each year, Alabama ranks 13th in the most raw solar power potential, yet we have less rooftop solar than other southern states, falling far behind our neighbors Georgia, South Carolina, etc. At the same time, we have the 2nd highest residential electricity bills while Alabama Power happens to be one of the wealthiest utility companies in the nation despite our state being in the bottom five of all 50 states and D.C. for GDP per capita. Thus, Alabama Power is directly profiting off the poor and has no plans to increase solar energy investment until 2041. This is a sustainability, social justice, and economic issue.
