I didn’t say net metering isn’t useful now, I said it wouldn’t work if a large majority of people did it. I don’t see how what you said contradicts that.

They literally changed the time of day charges so power is a fraction of the cost during the daytime when solar is available.

All they'd have to change is to make the ToD follow solar output if they wanted to keep NEM going.

But that's not what they want, they own the lines, and they want to TAKE every penny they can.

We need to break PGE, sell their lines to regional providers, it's a curse on california.
