Outside investors earn a standard premium only and can’t yield a higher return without being a citizen who earns premium status. Similar to Social Security, you work, and a portion of your earnings are collected for your renewable nest egg.

Money can be made from electrified transportation as well if earned via battery swapping stations. Rooftop owners get credit for fill ups and are paid when these batteries are used by drivers. Each individual is allocated an ownership dividend which they can use for their own electric vehicles or sell minus the transmission fee. Other standards can be set to require intermodal transportation, metro transit, and taxi service to run on electric only within the city or county limits or else pay a carbon fuel fee for the right to pollute the citizens lungs.

We could run a wire between house and workplace. And pay the owner of the wire a little bit for shipping the power.

We could call it the grid!!! ;o)

Now, if you have a ‘traditional’ family with a stay at home parent and 2 electric vehicles….maybe that works. 1 charges while the other is commuting and then switch the next day.

We do, and still remain woefully ignorant. But then, you knew that…….

That will be the way to make money on a grid full of intermittent sources. Homeowners won’t put molten salt batteries or pumped storage facilities in their basements, but the power company can afford them.

Utilities, change your outdated business model and accept that Distributed Solar Power is here to stay.
