OH NO! IT'S WORKING! Someone think of the power companies!

My rural electric coop limits the amount they will pay for end user generated solar power per month. They will never let the bill zero out or be negative.

As long as that means there's a minimum fee that's going to maintain the grid, I think I'm okay with electric bills not going negative.

I was worried when Germany shut down their nuclear reactors but it's great news to hear they're embracing solar hard

I shit down my reactor every time solar goes hard too.
