Assemblywoman Who Said “F*** Elon Musk” Backs A Proposal To Kill Rooftop Solar In California
Clean Technica ^ | 5 May 2021 | Johnna Crider

Posted on 05/05/2021 3:49:11 PM PDT by DUMBGRUNT

You may remember the controversial and rude statement from California’s Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (District 80) from last year regarding Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, which specializes in both electric vehicles and home energy solutions that include rooftop solar. Recently, Gonzalez not only backed but amended AB 1139, which could bring the state’s rooftop solar and storage market to a halt.

The bill, nicknamed the “Anti-Solar Bill,” would kill the net energy metering policy that has allowed rooftop solar to grow sustainably

Introduce new “grid access” monthly charge that will add $50–$86/month for the typical residential solar use.

Adds prevailing wage for all solar installs.

Yes. Odd. Maybe trying to kill Elon’s new, solar roof tile business. They are expensive. But very cool!! An enticement forward if one can afford. So likely a personal vendetta.

She's a good communist, she's against anything that would benefit the little people

Perhaps not so much kill it, but unionize all the workers.

She does what the unions tell her to do.

“monthly charge that will add $50–$86/month”

That’s more than my monthly bill here in Florida (with FPL supplying me with electricity).

I think that solar roof storage sheds are a possibility.

Keep trees shading your house and haul in a solar roof storage shed.

Our daughter has returned to school to study alternative energy sources.
I was selected to assist with her homework/research.

I have been learning a few things.

On the back of a recent electric bill($99.82 total) is a delivery charge of $41.01, to pay for maintenance of the wires.

The problem arises when you have grid-tied solar panels feeding back into the system and your bill drops to ZERO.

Who is paying to maintain the grid, you only use it on odd occasions?
The solar people become free riders.

This program needs to be killed nationally. It penalizes power company customers by forcing them to subsidize and buy power from power cell people

Aren’t the solar power people charged for access to the grid?
They’d have two ways to pay, with money or by contributing their unused power to the supply grid.
They’re not floating off the grid if they are contributing to power to it.
