WaitingForPower — Energy Project Tracker
Solar projects stuck in permitting could power 100,000,000+ homes.
See the projects in permitting near you.
A few supporters can make the difference.
Solar and wind need batteries to provide power 24 hours a day. Local boards mostly hear from opponents, so a handful of neighbors speaking up can change permitting outcomes.

▸What to say
If you support it
- Battery storage holds clean power from the middle of the day for the evening peak, when the grid is most strained.
- It lets the grid lean less on gas peaker plants, which run on the hottest days and are among the most polluting.
- I support this project with strong fire-safety conditions: current NFPA 855 standards, fire-department review, and an emergency response plan.
- Lithium-ion battery fires (thermal runaway) can be hard to extinguish and may require evacuating nearby homes.
- Cooling fans and inverters can run around the clock, adding steady noise for close neighbors.
- A large battery enclosure this close to homes affects the neighborhood's character and property values.
