"In California, a "Solar Tax" has been proposed in recent years, which would impose fees or charges on households with rooftop solar panels based on the energy they produce.
Proposals have included fees as high as $700 per year for the average solar consumer. These efforts, backed by Governor Newsom’s Public Utilities Commission, were defeated in 2021, 2022, and 2024 due to public outcry but remain under consideration."
Just admit that the the Democrats in charge of California don't care about the environmental benefits of solar.
- SoftTalker 1y agoI don't live in California and don't pay attention to what the Democrats there do. My response was about "net metering." Having to sell your solar power to the utility at the wholesale rate, not the retail rate, would seem fair to me, since you're only selling them power and not any of the other stuff that is necessary to deliver that power to anywhere else. If you don't like the price, don't sell the power, find something else to do with it or some other way to store it.
- hn_throwaway_99 1y agoRepeating the same bullshit propaganda from this group does not make it true. If you have another source for what was actually proposed, I'm all ears. Searching for things like "proposed solar tax California" only brought up articles about the sunsetting of the solar tax credit in CA, which is a far, far cry from being a solar tax.
