In Reply to: Proud to live in Calif. Solar subsidies and savings to diminish significantly.... posted by Carl G on January 20, 2022 at 18:20:40:
...but I see it happening, to varying degrees nationwide, nonetheless.
We are under a global initiative to adopt "alternate" energy and EVs, but the "incentives" are being progressively reduced. I'm not sure of the objectives behind these "tactics". Are we "forcing" people this direction, with the threat of "do it now (or by whatever date), or you'll never be able to afford it"? Or are the politicians just so deeply embedded in the pockets of the fossil-fuels industry, utilities, auto-manufactures, and unions? Are we simply moving from "the carrot to the stick"? Instead of "rewarding" people if you do, are we moving-on to the "punishment" phase if you don't?
I installed a solar-array on my new building a little over a year ago, and bought an EV this past year. I bought the EV used, so I didn't get a LOT of incentives, but I did get "something" from my State, and the PO had gotten a TON of incentives--so he didn't mind so much selling it to me cheap.
It just seems to be going a bit "awry".
