In reply to the discussion: ALEC calls for penalties on 'freerider' homeowners in assault on clean energy [View all]truedelphi
(32,324 posts)16. This is to be expected, so we have to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Until ALEC is dead.
Some solar energy news list I'm on was reporting how a Sacramento landlord spent $ 22,000 to solarize his two dozen apartments.
And he now pays his tenants utilities in full - six bucks a month for all two dozen apartments. (His cost to solarize is hidden inside their rental fees - but as they are still saving some $ 60 a month, they all realize they are better off.) Even if you are very thrifty it usually costs $ 60 a month in Calif, as we are still paying off the Enronized costs we racked up when the Enron thing was happening with PG & E. I Forget how many tens of billions we consumers are still out because that happened.)

Maybe ALEC could try something new by not working to fuck up people's lives.
