Submission Statement
Initiatives like this challenge the current model of electricity consumption and distribution, which is investor-owned and focused on short-term profits for the investors.
However, as solar prices continue to decrease, it’s possible that home-produced renewable electricity will be the cheapest overall. I suspect, in the future, we’re going to be hearing more and more about the battle between these 2 ways of getting things done.
Defend it. Republicans will come hard to stop it. They’re favorite tactic is to outlaw it at the state level. Republicans stopped towns from operating their own ISPs across the country by outlawing them at the state level.
Look, more power to them, and i hope it works out, but solar panels in a region with snow, hail, and lots of overcast days sounds like a bad idea if you want to actually save money
Its gotten where I can’t imagine a public service not being outsourced to make one person really wealthy that benefits a lot of people.
Renewable, green and cheap?
This seems almost, un-American. Strange even.
I assert that responsible municipalities *know* this is basically a best-practice and a rationally sustainable opinion moving forward. More of this aallll over the place would be magnificent.
**This** is *The Way*™!!
