California’s high-voltage battle between utilities and rooftop solar could impact electric bills
Actually glad i clickes on that. Imagine utilities claiming they're on the side of the little guy, in the face of "Big Solar".
"Electricity providers across the state, from San Diego Gas & Electric to Redding Electric Utility, have said that they are not against rooftop solar in principle."
If there is something else in that article that said 'claiming they're on the side of the little guy', I don't see it.
Utility Companies are regulated (PUC). Rooftop solar is subsidized.
Long term, doesn't government (somehow) have to balance both ?
