Abby Hopper, president and CEO of Solar Energy Industry Association, talks with Frank Maisano, senior principal in Bracewell’s Policy Resolution Group, on the convention floor in Milwaukee.

We talk about job creation, and we talk about the nonpartisan nature of energy. And I have to be honest, I’ve had only good conversations. I’ve had only positive conversations with Republican members who understand how important this industry is.
