Distributed Generation and Power Utilities To Duke It Out

2GreenEnergy supporter and frequent contributor Brian McGowan sent me this piece just now, illustrating the collision course that distributed generation and the power utilities seem to be facing. There is no doubt that, the way we regulate electric utilities currently is not sustainable. As more people put solar on their roofs and thus reduce the amount of power they’re buying, the cost to those who remain can only go up.

The only solution is a complete rethinking of the laws that govern these companies. Fortunately, it appears that this re-regulation may be in the works.
