I know several people with solar panels on their property that are entirely self sufficient, and even store excess in battery generators. They do pay a small fee to stay connected to the power company, but you can install a switch that separates the two so that you are in control of when the power company comes into your house.
It is really amazing how self sufficient some of these properties have become.
That should be a very conservative thing to appreciate. Not every energy approach is some form of leftist garbage.
What kind of tax-breaks and subsidies do they get?
Besides that though, our corrupt, cronyist-woke leaders always choose the top-down approach, vs. the individual, ground-up approach. Solar may be an excellent choice for your home, especially if you are far from a connection, prone to black-outs, etc... In this regard, by promoting grid-level development, they have it exactly upside down - and will cause unnecessary costs and trouble because of it.
Its the typical leftist debate over any human good - transport, medical care, education, energy.
They promote the collectivist, power-grabbing top-down approach over the more efficient and logical individual, bottom-up choice
