Instead it relied on economic analysis from the consultancy that proposed the policy, Energy and Environmental Economics Inc

The answer here is simple, Homeowners should be allowed to SUE this Company for Damages for this blatant fraudulent assessment.

And most of these studies ignore the maintenance factor that panels would have to be replaced every so often, and those panels are expensive.

My neighbor in Florida had solar panels to heat his pool and the maintenance guys were there pretty much every year at least once.

California’s energy regulators effectively cooked the books to justify their recent command that all homes built in the Golden State after 2020 be equipped with solar panels. Far from a boon to homeowners, the costs to builders and home buyers will likely far exceed the benefits to the state.

Great, just what California needs - something to further drive up the price of housing. On the one hand, I appreciate the price support - I own a house a few blocks from the new Apple HQ and according to Zillow it has appreciated by about $1.3 million since I bought it 13 years ago. But I have to wonder who is going to be able to afford housing in California in the years to come? The state can't be entirely populated by software developers, software managers and government employees.

Cali has kicked all meaningful energy production outside its borders.

They get their just deserts...or....desserts......

Huge dangers involved with tehse system - heat, high voltage/current, complicated electronics, maintenance hazards

Projections of the Insurance costs needed/added for these ‘mandated’ solar houses will be covered up (and for more fun stuff like paperwork/inspections, service calls, and yet more government meddling).

The politicos will go home feeling good from the stupids who vote for them for shams/scams like this, but people’s lives will be lost and more middlemen will be enabled and regulation lasting ‘til the end of time’ (or the leftist’s time, which might be up really soon).
