Cool. Now can the local power companies (in cahoots with CPUC) stop changing the rules that make it less and less economically viable for people to have solar on our roofs? Every year they add bigger fees and pay tinier amounts for power generation. The ROI on solar is now measured in decades. And they're doing it on purpose.

No no no, you need to pay us a flat fee of $500 monthly no matter what, else how do we make profit for our shareholders. Because we can all agree on at least one thing right?? That a basic necessity like electricity definitely should not be publicly owned

Oh and yay for NEM 3, super beneficial to customers
