Yes, I am Fucking Pissed at my energy bills for the last 6 months. Like WTH. It is like $500 a month vs what was $300 max. I told my husband… it is time to start investing in solar generators. We are getting screwed for some stupid tech boy.
I would love if this creates some kind of decentralized energy network. You know how you can sell your energy back to the grid when you have solar surplus? We should have the option of choosing the rate too. If they don’t want to pay our prices, they don’t need our electricity,
I don’t know anywhere you can actually sell it back to the network, usually they just give you credits that deduct future payments, so you can’t ever get money out of it. But maybe that’s only some places.
You could when solar fist started becoming available. Energy companies quickly realized that if everyone did that, they’d have way too much power during the day, and none at night.
Our local co-op power generator barely makes it useful to have solar unless you also have battery storage.
In my naive view I don’t see why they wouldn’t just give less and less money until they’re effectively giving you none or even charging you for putting it back into the grid. It would then incenticize people to get battery banks and put it in during the night.
But again, naive view. Maybe I’m missing something obvious.
You know how you can sell your energy back to the grid when you have solar surplus?
I know this is for the USA, but I’d like to point out something really fucked: in Denmark, if you don’t use the energy your solar power produces, YOU have to pay the energy company for the extra electricity you put into the grid! Like… What‽‽‽

Seems like you need a battery for your solar
We all have to do our part and stop using AI. It’s time to pop the bubble.
You think they’ll drop those prices when the AI pops?
