California Regulators stiff arm utilities on solar for the public

[Gregorian]

9. Holy shit! This is news to me.

So how on earth do they manage to survive when baseline price for customers in my area is 6 cents per kWh?

Also, I wonder if the quality of power coming from solar customers is part of the reason for the lower price. You know about the capacitive loading and all of that stuff that happens with big commercial users. I don't even remember if capacitive is the proper word, it's been so long.

So if my brain is working properly, which is doubtful, someone is subsidizing the utility companies. Otherwise how could they survive on baselines so far below their cost of buying energy? Am I missing something?
