VEPCO just started charging everyone with solar grid ties $60 more/ month.
All this will do is cause everyone with PV to buy one of those molten salt batteries and get off the grid altogether.

You gave damn little of a clue to understand what you are talking about.

Dominion is charging households with solar + grid ties an extra $60/ mo, provoking a big uproar. To pay for shifting from power generation to load leveling Dominion is flat taxing green power generation.
What'll happen is customers will drop the grid tie but still be ready to switch to the utility when they need it. An EV sized battery can be financed with $60/month.
This defeats the entire purpose of the Carter law requiring utilities to pay their customers for feeding the grid. The meter runs backwards during the day with a grid tie, forward at night.
It seems obvious now but it's curious how no one thought of -- or at least planned for -- this scenario before.

levels
Lots of people have thought of it, planned for it and put regulations in place for it.
Many places have limits on "personal" installations just because of the issues with load leveling.
That you do not know this is hardly a surprise.
