Johnson emphasized his desire to not only see more solar panels and other green projects move forward but also for participants in those efforts to be reimbursed by federal funds."I want to challenge everyone here, everyone here, including my team, to begin thinking about ways that we can partner together to make sure that these tax incentives actually reach the communities and the folks who want to see a just transition to a cleaner world.
