Ugh, sour grapes from the utilities.
Surely cashing in and taking a cut of the 'net meter' money for maintaining the infrastructure to allow selling electricity back to the grid would allow profitability to be maintained?
- JanezStupar 12y agoYou cant have 1:1 ratio, because as producer you just dump energy onto the utilities, but they cannot just dump it onto you. Only way 1:1 ratio would work is utilities could dump their spikes onto you and then you would have to buy expensive equipment to prevent your home bursting into flames the first day. We need to cut down on our fossil fuel reliance, but solar and wind are helping in no way (yet).
- Havvy 12y ago0.4% from solar is helping by 0.4%. That's 1/250th less burning of fossil fuels than if it wasn't there.
