SOLAR, WIND INDUSTRIES HOPE YEARS COURTING REPUBLICANS PAYS OFF (Reuters) -- U.S. wind and solar companies for the first time gave more money to Republicans than Democrats during the 2016 election cycle, according to federal campaign disclosures, part of a years-long effort to expand renewable energy's appeal beyond liberal environmentalists. … Recipients this year included 34 House Republicans and 19 Senate Republicans. U.S. Sens. Richard Burr from North Carolina, Dean Heller from Nevada and New York Rep. Tom Reed - all vocal proponents of renewables - together accounted for more than 40 percent of the Solar Energy Industries Association PAC's total federal campaign donations.
