The Democrats have been shutting down coal-fired generating plants all over the country, blocking oil and gas pipelines, trying to drive the entire coal industry out of business, restricting oil use, closing old nuclear plants and not building replacements. The outcome of all this was fairly obvious from the get-go. Higher prices, shortages, brownouts and blackouts.
They're even trying to pass a new tax on solar of all things - one that's so high that it means solar panels can never make economic sense. It's because solar panels are racist, yo. Seriously. They argue that only white people can afford them and it's not fair for white people to make a $20,000 or $30,000 investment that will pay for itself in 10 - 15 years. It's racist, after all. The tax they're proposing is $2,400 for each kW of capacity over the life of the system. A 10 kW system costs about $30,000 and will incur $24,000 in taxes.
Yea. That's why I'm not doing a grid tie and I'm installing everything myself. I'm not applying for any tax credits either.
Next is a law requiring you to connect to the grid. You watch. No way you're getting away having electricity free of the spic/nigger tax, whitey.
