RE and Regulations, both UL and IEEE [RE-wrenches]

[Bill Brooks]

Joe,

Very well stated. I think the thing to take away from all of this is to be
careful of friendly fire. Many times we can attack areas where our friends
are working hard to remedy the situation. The problems are well-known and
numerous and require hard work on many fronts including changing laws and
policies. Please remember there are several of us "infiltrating" the "enemy"
headquarters so use "smartbombs" instead of nuclear weapons. You watch my
back, I'll watch yours.

Bill.

Hey Joel,

Thanks for the laughs!

Thought I'd chime in on the guerrilla thread.

All the GS articles in Home Power come directly from HP readers and
are unsolicited. For years we've been receiving a steady stream of
letters from on-grid RE users that couldn't jump high enough to get
over their local utility's hurdles for interconnection. We saw the
trend, put a name to it, and began covering these systems in the
magazine. Even though we now have net metering in 35 U.S. states, the
letters keep coming, often from states that have net metering
legislation in place. People trying to do the right thing are fed up
with stubborn utilities and the often complicated (sometimes
expensive) requirements for interconnection. We have to remember that
there's a big world outside of California where utility intertied RE
isn't anywhere close to becoming mainstream.
