The memes of the climate

I just got solar and I can tell you that my power company definitely owns solar. I live in Florida (yeah, I know). And the power company gets to decide how much solar I get to put on my roof, whether I have to get extra insurance to cover the solar (liability insurance in fact, does that make sense?), charge fees to connect to the grid, decide WHEN I can connect because they have to connect a two-way meter AND in my area I am not allowed to go off grid, which means even if I produce enough energy to meet all of my needs, I still have to pay a monthly connection fee, which by the bye, just went up because Florida decided that the power company just didn't have enough control and voted that they could raise rates to cover data centers and you guessed it, the purchase of storage for all of the solar residents are producing.

It's just a matter of time before they decide that the mandatory connection fee is roughly equal to a monthly bill establishing a base cost for all customers that is so high, solar will not matter. They've figured this one out.
