In December of 2005 I invested $15,000 (after fed and state rebates and tax
credits) to install an 8kw Solar array at our home. After two years of
operation Im happy to report that I have generated more electricity than I
Need and my total electricity bill is $9 per month. (Min Meter Charge)
We use more than we generate in some winter months but gen more than we use
in the summer and it gets banked with our utility and we are billed once a
year for the "Net Use"
I figure I will have paid off the investment in about 7 1/2 years.
Then its free electricity for the duration of the usefull life of the
panels.
Sooo personally I really don't care how much they increase the rates.
Increased rates just makes my break even point happen sooner....

Subject: California bans dirty emissions
To all you California Healey owners. Having read all your emails about
emissions on cars, I noted, today, that your state has now passed
legislation banning the purchase of electricity from "dirty emissions"
producers of which they quoted accounts for more than 20% of the electricity
used by California and which is produced out of state.
I do not envy your future electric bills!!!!!
