The proposed changes would eliminate this financial incentive and reversely tax users per month simply for having rooftop solar.

If a homeowner or business received tax incentives to install solar, then the issuing government agency should receive the income from putting energy back into the grid until the tax incentive has been fully paid back.

I would never consider a grid tied system. Most grid operators are slightly more trustworthy than fedgov.

All those incentives to go solar will slowly get taken back in some way.

There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

I can’t find any waste or toxic waste facility that takes anything other than lead acid batteries in the shasta area.

There might be one but I can’t find it.

Disposal is a whole other can of watermelon worms.

( I’m not anti solar ,,,, but,,, lots of issues with it ),)

Joe Manchin said to UpChuck Shumer, “If we tax our brains, we can figure this out.” UpChuck realized that taxing brains would be a boon for the Democrats as most have little brain power so they would be taxes less than non-Democrats.

Any new taxes will be partially offset by the solar depletion allowance.

56 years later, Taxman is as relevant as ever.

In the same vein, Atlas Shrugged is as relevant as it was when it was published 65 years ago.

I don’t understand dealing with non-tangibles. It’s like giving back some “air” because you didn’t use it all in xxx number of hours! Like carbon credits - need a good imagination to even understand it. I’m speaking for myself - perhaps others get it! I just plain don’t!
