Solar Development in Mississippi Faces Resistance From State Regulators
Briefly

Wallace expressed frustration at the commission's refusal to include perspectives from the solar industry, stating, 'We want to be able to address them, but we just weren't provided the opportunity.' This highlights the ongoing struggle for clean energy advocates to be heard in predominantly fossil-fuel-focused discussions.
Commissioner Stamps emphasized the need for diverse voices at the summit, stating, 'We want to hear from people who are not selling solar panels,' reflecting concerns about potential bias from industry representatives.
Chairman Chris Brown criticized the format of the meeting, stating, 'We're turning into an infomercial,' which underscores worries that the discussion may not genuinely address the needs for clean energy input.
The summit agenda notably lacked participation from solar or clean energy advocates, effectively silencing vital input. This absence represented a broader issue within policy discussions on renewable energy in Mississippi.
