RE:”
These greenhouse gas initiatives will continue to punish conventional utility producers (coal and natural gas), forcing them to pay fines for carbon output. These fines will be passed on to the rate payers — residential and commercial — which will drive utility rates up. The fines collected will be used to subsidize more expensive energy production (solar and wind), which will also mean cost increases.” My neighbor here (Howard County) got solar panels and told me that he gets a monthly subsidy from BGE just for having them,
this explains it.
That's our $$$ going to them.
