Environment California's Ben Grundy takes the stage at the Everyone Under the Sun Rally and Festival to speak about the many benefits of clean, renewable solar energy.

On Oct. 11, hundreds of solar supporters gathered at the California state capitol for the Environment California-sponsored “Everyone Under the Sun Rally and Festival.” Amid speeches, musical performances and sweet treats from a solar-powered ice cream truck, participants celebrated California’s clean energy progress and urged the state’s leaders to keep solar growing, and reject regulatory changes that would make solar more costly.
