Selling solar power wholesale to a utility that already has plenty of other sources is probably fruitless. Especially now with the reduced demand for electricity. I wonder how much of that reduced demand is from the subsidized CFL lamps?
I look forward to the day when we are awash in our own oil because EVs have helped eliminate the need to import. Then with gas under $1 it will be hard to justify the EVs that created the situation.
OTOH avoiding the retail cost of purchasing the electricity has merit. OK I know solar installations are also subsidized. I might be wrong but I think most solar is being installed on homes and businesses to avoid the retail cost and less solar creating central electric power to sell to the utility for distribution.
Should we also eliminate the home mortgage subsidy? Not to go off topic but just to present one of many examples that has outlived the purpose IMO. I can't say how happy I was when the subsidy of tobacco farmers was finally ended some years ago. I wonder what subsidy was more....
