The Phoenix Sun
The Phoenix Sun covers solar power from Phoenix, Arizona – the sunniest major city in the nation. In addition to reporting on innovations in solar technology, green job growth and advice for homeowners who want to go solar, the Sun investigates stories you won’t find elsewhere. We cover the legal, political and regulatory framework that has kept the US solar power industry far behind competitors in Europe and Asia.

The sun is edited by investigative reporter Osha Gray Davidson who has covered the environment and politics for 25 years, writing for Mother Jones, Rolling Stone, the New York Times, and other national and international publications.
