"SAN FRANCISCO – California’s once-thriving residential solar industry is in ruins after state officials slashed rooftop solar incentives, causing thousands of job losses, said clean energy advocates and solar industry representatives during a recent virtual briefing.
The incentives played a crucial role in outfitting solar panels on approximately 2 million homes, establishing the state as the leader in the clean energy revolution. But the California Public Utilities Commission, or CPUC, bowed to demands from Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric to roll back those incentives."
Of course the gas/electric company hates it.
A big source of anti windmill propaganda around here came from the nuclear plant. Which is conviently owned by a gas pipeline company.
Not at all conflict of interest
And remember, the cost of labour doesn't effect the cost of electricity! Another point they love to preach as they also joke about how working there is like "playing hide and seek for 2 grand a week"
Welcome to the nuclear power generation industry in Canada.
I need some more context on the hide and seek joke.
Since you're highly paid, you want the job to take as long as it can. So you hide from getting any work done and get paid really well for doing it.
It's a take on Major Major's dad
Ahh thanks
