Lost revenue?? Surely you jest [RE-wrenches]

[Joel Davidson]

David,
Here's how we dealt with net metering critics in California.
Every electric service provider shall develop a standard
contract or tariff providing for net energy metering, and shall make
this contract available to eligible customer-generators, upon
request, on a first-come-first-served basis until the time that the
total rated generating capacity used by eligible customer-generators
exceeds one-half of 1 percent of the electric service provider's
aggregate customer peak demand.

Lost revenue? I read that Alaskan taxpayers are getting smaller oil checks as their natural resources continue to dry up.

They are cooperating but they keep repeating the stone-age mantra that each RE system translates into lost revenue and that the other ratepayers wind up subsidizing the RE system owner.  Further, they claim that if too many people add RE systems, it will mean higher rates for everyone since there will be less kWh sales with which to recover fixed costs.
