utility obfuscation and obstruction [RE-wrenches]

[Joel Davidson]

Here's the first sentence of the law
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/97-98/bill/asm/ab_1751-1800/ab_1755_bill_19980925_chaptered.html
Existing law requires every electric utility in the state,
including a privately owned or publicly owned public utility,
municipally owned utility, and electrical cooperative that offers
residential service, whether or not the entity is subject to the
jurisdiction of the Public Utilities Commission, to develop a
standard contract or tariff providing for net energy metering to be
available to eligible customer-generators, in accordance with
specified restrictions.
