Every time I see what FPL is up to in terms of their latest attempts to unravel net metering, I am grateful that I don't live in california. Where it's a lot worse . Although it's small consolation when you're dealing with a large amount of b*******, it is an indication of just how threatened (the almost entirely white plutocracy) private power industry is that they label solar adopters racist and elitist. Since they can't compete technologically with the cost of rooftop solar and can't even get close to it, making it hard to attack the technology itself, they have to discredit and devalue the adopters. We have seen this down here in FL by a number of politicians who like to suggest that solar is only affordable by rich people. This is a well-worn strategy in other contexts, but it's starting to backfire. Let's hope Gavin gets exposed for his role in this blatant conflict of interest story. California should have the cheapest power in the country instead of the most expensive. It takes some serious grifting to go from where it should be to where it is. That gap is impossible to explain without the corruption of monopolistic greed and its usual handmaidens - bought and paid for politicians.
