Since his return to the White House last year, President Donald Trump has used the power of his office to shutter renewable energy projects and accelerate fossil fuel development. But solar power could soon get a leg up in the administration, thanks to the help of two unlikely green energy advocates: Katie Miller and Kellyanne Conway.
On Friday, Politico reported on the efforts of Miller, who is the wife of White House deputy director of policy Stephen Miller, and Conway to promote solar to MAGA audiences. The advocacy came to light earlier this month when Miller tweeted, "Solar energy is the energy of the future….We must rapidly expand solar to compete with China." About a week later, Miller shared a graph from the Energy Information Administration, showing that solar is the fastest-growing source of new energy in the United States.
