My presence on this forum should be a clue as to which I chose. I don't have time to make my own electricity!
I refused to let them put it on my house.

It they were truly only interested in saving energy, they could tell who was using excess and who was conserving merely by looking at a person's bottom line: their electric bill.] I isn't about conserving energy.
It's about control. Complete and utter control.
