How is solar opulence? It runs the toaster just the same as pge's power. I don't really gain anything out of investing 10s of thousands into clean energy. I'm basically paying a decade of utility bills up front in order to burn less co2.
- aidenn0 3y agoThe hypothetical series of events is like this: 1. PG&E adds a monthly surcharge that disproportionately affects those with high incomes 2. This makes those with high incomes switch to off-grid to avoid the surcharge 3. Assuming that high-income is a decent proxy for politically influential, now nobody who is politically influential cares if the grid is properly maintained 4. The poor now have an unreliable grid, while the wealthy are off-grid.
