Why no outrage of subsidies to the petroleum industry which m akes record profits?

There are places where the utilities have gotten th e state legislature to reverse the laws requiring them to buy residential s olar energy at the same price as they sell to residences. Such an abrupt c ut off creates FUD and prevents others from investing, which was the entire point of the program in the first place.

generating electricity. At most you get credit on your bill toward future electricity use. Many states limit that either in amount or by duration. Kinda like saving up vacation at work.
Oh, BS. Google broken?
Net Metering
Net metering allows residential and commercial customers who generate their own electricity from solar power to sell the electricity they aren't using back into the grid. Many states have passed net metering laws. In other st ates, utilities may offer net metering programs voluntarily or as a result of regulatory decisions. Differences between state legislation, regulatory decisions and implementation policies mean that the mechanism for compensat ing solar customers varies widely across the country
And why would they limit or ban a utility for paying for it? The greenies want more power generated, want more solar used. They are paying for commercial installations that generate power, why would govt ban a homeowne r from making a few bucks? Makes no sense. Now some POWER companies may try to not have to pay for it, but that's not the general case.
,Distribution, have you not looked at a typical electric bill?

at won't be zero. The rest of the bill should be zero if they are not usin g any net electricity. Do you pay for things you don't use? One of the ta xes is also a fixed fee, so not zero with zero usage.
IDK where here is, but it's not that way in NJ or most states. Which is why the fact that solar people aren't paying for distribution is a probl em that some states are starting to address. Here the bill is two parts, generation and distribution, it's about evenly split.
No, not everyone, but everyone in the many states that bill as describe is giving solar customers a subsidy, including poor families.
't see reason or appreciate facts. Everything you look at is through a bia sed point of view.
Yeah, right, I'm the one that doesn't know the facts. I had to explain that what you thought were subsidies to the oil industry is essentially Sub S tax treatment, the same thing a typical car dealer, supermarket, hardware store uses. And that the intangible drilling "subsidy", is merely allowing smaller oil companies to expense some of the costs of drilling a new well in one year, big oil companies in 5 years, instead of spreading it out over a longer period. It's not a subsidy. And obviously you're clueless about net metering too.
