Light action smoke mirrors and a lot of cut and editing that is what the CSI program was part of a Hollywood stage movie that went terribly wrong, a money pit that continues to grow and no matter how much editing you put into grid connected solar power it still unviable & end up at the cutting room floor. Not even digital effects could help with the CSI program.

The CSI solar grid connection program was nothing but a scam which came to an end, it was unviable and sent the economy backwards to bankruptcy in California. The only thing this achieved was higher cost of electricity through the program and did not reduce any CO2 levels in California falling third in line now with Australia and Germany with their economical disaster rollouts of grid connected solar power.

Yeah, but they do that not because they actually do the math wrong, but because they already have money invested in traditional plants that will be devalued if we shift over to renewables faster than they had planned to retire the FF plants…

Also guessing here, but under the current structure companies rent land from farmers to place the Turbine on – which can add up to a lot of money. They may think the new structure will impact that in some way… I couldn’t say without reading the bill.

I would guess due to the political leanings of the members.

Just like the Chamber of Commerce opposes businesses that don’t fit with its political leanings.

Why the heck is the Farm Bureau against it?

500 MW is good. 50 GW would be better!!

the first one was passed unanimously with no testimony against, so i assume you mean the 2nd one? i haven’t looked for it, but based on the parties, i’d guess it’s the typical utility co. nonsense.

It would have been interesting to hear some of the testimony of those who spoke out against this bill.
