Capitalism is the worst


monopolies do not represent the free market. in case you missed it, FPL managed to do this because of the politicians they were able to bribe

And they did it for the kicks? No, they did it for money. And the politicians were bought off because... Money?!


what does this have to do with capitalism

If you read it, it makes sense. They don't want power back feeding into the electric companies property and potentially damaging their equipment.

If you have back up batteries tied into your solar panels that's fine.

So, fair. Next!


they bribed politicians to pass laws making it illegal to have solar panels that are not connected to the grid


I don't care if they bribed them or not, if they are connected to the grid the customer should have the responsibility to make sure that they don't damage electric company property. Just like the electric company should be responsible for upkeep on it's end and making sure they don't damage homeowners property.

Have you actually read anything we've said in this topic or are you just spouting stupid bullshit in an attempt to make a point?

This is reasonable, back feed is really dangerous to linemen.


You missed the part where FPL lobbied really hard so that the politicians would make it illegal to have solar panels that are NOT hooked up to the grid. Floridians are mandated to hook up their solar panels to the grid even though you don't need to do that if you have solar panels.


So to sum it up. Electric companies don't want to lose money from people who are using less of their electricity and more solar power, so they make it a law that you HAVE to have your panels connected to their grid for no reason at all, and if there's an outage you can't use your own solar panels because of back feed that's caused only because they forced you to be connected to their grid for no reason at all.

Correct?

Yes, and I believe the same rule exists for generators.

Also they still require you to install the cut off switch as well but it's illegal to use it.

So it turns out Florida expressly prohibits third-party solar panels, which I either knew and forgot about or never knew at all. I know my mother explained the verbiage of the amendment this past year to me at some point because I initially thought it was a good thing, and I think that must have been why but she told me not to vote for it since that would mean they could regulate it... turns out they already can so I guess we were already boned this entire time.


I mean, I wasn't planning on solar panels anytime in the near future anyway but that really sucks for anyone who was....

I think the amendment was still needing to pay for electricity use even if you were generating it via solar panels?

Anyways the issue here is the requirement to connect the panels to the electrical grid. Most places (not run by corporations) will have you install a switch that changes you from being on the grid to whatever your power supply is (solar, generator). Florida does, but you can't actually use it (lol wat). So the consquence of that is that you have to turn them off if there's a power outage because backfeed is a real issue. An issue entirely caused by the other regulatory bullshit.

Why don't you make it illegal to prepare meals at home? Help out those restaurants and fast food chains.


I really wouldn't be surprised if this is coming at some point in the future. Under the guise of "protecting" people from possible contaminants in food or some bullshit.

That would work the opposite way <_< you'd have to ban restaurants

"Woman" literally has the word "man" in it.

Do you liberals want to change that, too?

What do you want to call them?

"Womyn" has been around for decades man.


Maybe in some fringe feminist circles. I've never heard of it. Still sounds the same when you say it outloud, so they failed pretty hard with that one.

If you've never heard of it then your head is buried deeper in the sand than any of us knew.

Basically she (my boss) was handed the IT Department to run without actually knowing anything about actual IT (she only used to manage SAP Operations before).

Replacement has like 20 years experience in IT and knows SAP as well.

So this will be fun.

I want to say that I'd expect the days for the Browns to be more than 2153 to get to 22 wins.

They're 22-70 in that span.

You have to go back to Week 7 of the 2011 season to get that 22nd win, which is over 5 complete seasons.

There are special rules for guns. This isn't a difficult concept.

Someone breaks in and takes their gun to kill. Who is to blame?

How securely was the firearm stored assuming the owner was not home when this occurred?
