Democrats better hold the line on this front. Let the GOP own the shutdown for the cuts they want.

LordCrom@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon afterEnglish251·3 days agoHell. In Florida, FPL is the electric provider, and they are fighting tooth and nail to keep people from installing solar on houses… In Florida, we would have almost free electric for everyone if all houses could install panels…
But FPL lobbied our GOP legislature and force anyone with solar to have a million dollar insurance policy payable to FPL in case something happens. Also got regulations passed to bar home windstorm insurance if any panels are bolted to the roof. So if you have panels, no hurricane insurance for you…and the mortgage holder gets to put their expensive policy on your home.
Fuck FPL

LordCrom@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every DayEnglish6·3 days agoNot just phone makers, but the telecom companies. Even if your phone shares no location data, it still checks in with a cell tower constantly. As you move around, so does your registration at a tower. It’s accurate to about 2 miles. Match that with your known home address or work address and your location is easily guessed
Bad phrasing. There are power walls for home use and FPL is still available.
My point is that Florida could use solar as 1 prong on the challenge to provide clean, green energy but FPL must deliver profit to it’s shareholders and will fight that effort
