    How convenient, right after they bribed their captive regulator to slash reimbursement rates for home solar, they force everyone to pay time of use electric rates.

    PG&E is a criminal conspiracy.

      Let’s not forget how will only buy electricity back at a variable yet, sell it at a static rate and keep the profit.

      Also up charging a tax on selling electricity back into the grid for “use of their equipment”, which understandable i get but again c’mon.

      The realistic progress needing to be done here is a battery storage solution as power needed during intense solar days is effectively 0% in California nowadays. We need to store that energy and use it during night but then it eats into PG&Es profits and we can’t have that can we?

      Everything done under the guise of “progress” is helping a corporation somewhere.
