Richard, all your quotable quotes come from profiteers who will benefit extensively from foisting the cost of their needless products on end-use consumers without any choice in the matter.

Any consumer protection organizations or ratepayer advocates waxing ecstatic about this handout?

"This is a game changer,” Ravi Manghani, Wood Mackenzie’s head of solar said of the new rule, which many say will help make the grid more resilient, sustainable and affordable."

"Many" are saying that, are they? That's rich. Though in some parallel universe renewables may be resilient, sustainable, or affordable, in California they've led to rolling blackouts, the highest electricity prices in the continental U.S., and dependence on unsustainable natural gas for the foreseeable future. Many here are saying "Strike Three".

Others noted that with so many nascent types of DERs emerging on the grid, that for many of them policy and regulation is ahead of technology, an uncommon situation.

This is one of the most significant 'big picture' takeaways-- could it be the beginning of a more agile energy industry in that type of fundamental way? We can only hope!

Once again, I'll remind the narrow minded of the forgotten elephant in the room, agriculture. Remember, using only corn kernel sugar with nutrients, we are now feeding a rapidly growing population PLUS using the fermentation waste ethanol to fuel over 10% of very heavy cars in very heavy traffic. And all those cars generate a lot of quality, reliable electricity.

Solar energy is very familiar to farmers that feed you. And we should hope agriculture is around for a few hundred year more. I knew this administration would allow broad innovation.
