Just more proof that there's two tiers of justice. "Wanna put solar panels on your roof? Better hope your HOA is cool with that. Fuck no, we won't buy back your excess electricity. Also, we're taking away the tax incentives and subsidies, and we hope you get turbocancer."
But we need Melon Husk to operate his unlicensed gas turbines, because we need Grok to tell us what to do in Iran. That's not a joke, btw, that's what the DoJ said.
Are they going to be guarded like they're national security assets or would it be easy for the locals to uh... shut them down themselves?
If you think there's a difference I have some bad news for you about how well-protected a lot of our assets are
Wait, are they actually refusing to buy (for peanuts) excess electricity produced by residential solar panels? wtaf
Some US States do not buy back excess electricity, no.
Stupid country. My generation is more than twice the night tarriff.
It’s one party of the country that does it. They run the media and the influence and keep 51% of the people who actually vote on their side and have done for 40 years in a row.
It’s coming for every country.
Everyone should be wary of the right but acting like it is an inevitability is ridiculous and more american eceptionalism. It only happener to us because its coming for everyone.
It happened to america because everyone there allowed it. Fake democracy was always visible, corruption always there, foreign policy. The works. And its no one party, one if far worse and the other is complacent
In most of this country the meters are dumb and the pricing is fixed 24/7. This means that any solar power that you put into the grid can only be full price. Also the grid is antiquated and cant handle the unpredictable fluctuations.
