So people should be allowed to have their own solar panels, but not to supply electricity to the grid?
Ahha - you havent run out of absurd questions yet...fascinating.
eg, after asking "Why should people not be allowed to own their own solar panels? " - which I pointed out no-one is denying, your next absurd question is:
"Why should people not be allowed to supply energy to the grid",
again no one is saying this; the present problem is profit- seeking private companies trying to
operate an inadequate grid which can't cope with all the solar elecricity generated midday.
The government should nationalize the whole electricity industry and upgrade the grid away from fossil fuels ASAP, to be able to store all that excess midday energy, without private companies wanting to make a profit and forcing rooftop PV owners to pay for their own free electicity.
Note: graps is talking about going off grid, but not everyone will be able to do that.
