Obama-era solar power program reaches goal early

The so-called SunShot initiative was modeled after the lunar ambitions embraced for President Kennedy.

Sept. 13 (UPI) -- A U.S. solar power initiative enacted by former President Barack Obama reached a goal for cost competitiveness three years early, the government said.

The U.S. Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory said in a report that the cost to install solar power during the first quarter of the year reached a record low because of higher efficiencies, lower labor costs and the decline in the price for photovoltaic components.

For utility-scale projects, those supplying energy to the nation's grid, the costs are down about 30 percent when compared with first quarter 2016.

"These results suggest that the DOE's SunShot Initiative, which was launched in 2011 to make solar cost-competitive with other forms of energy, has met its 2020 cost target for utility-scale solar systems three years early," NREL's summary read.

For commercial-scale and residential units, the department said the solar power sector is more than 85 percent of the way toward its 2020 goal.

Texas sues three companies accused of price gouging during Harvey

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing three Texas companies he believes were involved in price gouging in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.

One of them, Bains Brothers, owns Texaco stations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including one in Arlington that received numerous complaints.

A second is a Robstown-area hotel near Corpus Christi; the third is a Laredo-area Chevron station.

“It’s unconscionable that any business would take advantage of Texans at their most vulnerable — those who are displaced from their homes, have limited resources, and are in desperate need of fuel, shelter and the basic necessities of life,” Paxton said Tuesday in a written statement.

The lawsuits come as more than 3,320 complaints of price gouging across Texas, including 502 in Tarrant County, have been reported, according to records from the attorney general’s office.
