The Wake-Up Call We Can’t Ignore 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.
