They can't ban the sun, so they're repricing it.
Carmen covers the state-by-state fight over what home-solar exports are worth. They can't ban the sun, she says, so they're repricing it — through export-rate cuts, fixed-charge hikes, and solar-specific fees designed to quietly destroy the value of a rooftop system. She takes the utilities' 'cost shift' argument seriously enough to dismantle it with the research, follows California's export-rate rollback as the template other states copy, and documents the funding behind the front groups running 'fairness' campaigns. Every story hands readers the docket, the deadline, and how to comment.
