It'd be pretty feel bad if the big wealthy energy company got to buy your power for a pittance then resell it to someone else for a big profit, to the point that I'd run a device to burn down any net power rather than let them sell it.
- HDThoreaun 4y agoBig wealthy energy company is already buying power for a pittance and reselling it to someone else for a big profit. That's how wholesale and retail markets work. Why should they be forced to buy from you when a generation company will sell for 10 cents on the dollar?
- jacquesm 4y agoBecause that's the best for the environment. If you are only focused on the money then that's fine but in the end that is what got us in this mess. So I propose that instead we look at what's best rather than at what makes companies the most profit for a change.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoYou keep saying that but it's not best for the environment. What's best for the environment would be buying commercial solar with 10% the cost and 10% of the waste
- s1artibartfast 4y agoCalifornia Power companies are highly regulated with a fixed profit margin. The cost of every kW purchased from rooftop solar gets passed on consumers that dont have it. Consumers could instead have 10x the kW from a clean solar plant out in a desert.
