But how much of that increase each year from PG&E is from operating costs which include the ridiculous things yours and their taxes are paying for brought on by the Kalifornja legislature? Are you considering that every panel will need to be replaced in 10 years or less and that the actual generation will diminish progressively until they die altogether?

Just how in the H are they going to regulate cattle farts outside of just killing them off? Nevermind all of the deer, elk, bear and even domesticated animal farts, or how to know the difference.

"Just how in the H are they going to regulate cattle farts..."

You have been mis-informed. The rightwing media has focused on the one line in the legislation that says the regulators can regulate cattle farts if the technology is available. But the technology doesn't exist.

The legislation is about cow manure and landfill gas.

It provides funding to lower the cost of a manure digester. Once you know that, you can get up to speed on manure digesters.

Cow manure also causes run-off water pollution which creates algae blooms and dead zones in rivers, lakes and the ocean. Like wise with hog/chicken/veal manure and fertilizers.

The legislation also requires composting of organic material rather than disposing in landfills where they emit methane.

Some disagree. Rather than pay these huge subsidies to produce cellulosic alcohol to be blended into gasoline, it would be better to use this material to produce landfill gas to generate electricity because that process already exists without subsidies
