Taxing the Sun

Taxing the Sun

Everyday Alabamians fight for affordable and untaxed solar energy amidst a state government in cahoots with a monopoly power company.

2022 · 25 min · Documentary

Why are our neighboring states so far ahead of Alabama when it comes to renewable energy? For decades Alabamians have “thanked God for Mississippi”, but that sentiment ends when we consider our right to choose our own sources of electricity. A few simple policy changes could remove existing barriers and voilà! Alabamians could have more options when it comes to where their electricity comes from. It’s time to stop taxing the sun and fight for Energy Freedom!
