| Calif Rooftop Solar Cell Energy transfers $ from poor to rich |
| 2024-02-05 |
| [EnergyBadBoys] Pretty technical substack article. Basically the law gave a bonus to encourage rooftop installations. This bonus lets homeowners with solar rooftops sell their excess electricity at premium prices even when California doesn't need the electricity. This raises prices for everyone and the poor, who rent apartments, pay for this bonus. Naturally, Calif. is thinking of charging for electricity by income but that has all kinds of problems. |
