"I have no car*. Should part of my taxes go towards street repair, infrastructure maintenance and new road construction?"

Yes, because even people without cars are using the roads with their bicycles, feet, draft animals or whatever. People with cars are paying big sales taxes, fuel taxes and other taxes, though.

People with no connection to the power grid are not using it. There are many who buy non-subsidized PV modules and receive no rebates or tax credits.

” People with no connection to the power grid”

Fine.

People who are connected sell their excess to the company at a fascist government determined rate that all other customers must make up for (subsidize).

A fair rate would be significantly below the wholesale rate the utility pays it’s reliable wholesale suppliers.
Unreliable power is worth significantly less.
Left to the market the distributed, intermittent electricity produced by homes would be valued at practically nothing.

The biggest subsidy of home PV is mandating that the utility’s other customers must pay outrageous prices for the excess produced- even as ridiculously much as the retail price!

This article is obfuscation with it’s focus on the grid cost.
