But utilities scared of solar are moving towards charging between $50 and $100 per month or more, just for the privilege of putting solar panels on your roof. Basically, they're calling the bluff, trying to structure their rates so that you pay basically the same amount whether or not you have solar panels on your roof. And, in the environment the utilities are idiotically barreling us towards, the grid ceases to make sense. Better to double your solar costs and cut your grid costs to zero than to pay for solar and keep paying what you used to for the grid. Much better.... b& _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
