Micah quoted in the Philadelphia Inquirer hooray: Micah Gold-Markel, owner of Solar States, a solar installation company, had grown frustrated with the permitting process in Philadelphia. People love solar. It’s a great product. It works, Gold-Markel said of the growing demand. It’s just all the regulation. And I’m a pro-regulation guy, but with this there are just so many layers.... https://www.inquirer.com//philadelphia-solar-climate-chang #philadelphia #solar
