California's utilities want to cut benefits to solar customers

10. I am not sure how they can justify charging solar customers more. They are NOT using PGE energy.

They are in effect their own energy company during the daylight hours.

If I grow vegetables in my back yard, am I going to be surcharged because I am eating the vegetables I grow if I don't buy them from corporate farmers?

Credits are given by the feds and state as incentives, and I could understand where they could reduce or eliminate that, but to surcharge people for producing their own energy, that is a major over reach.

It is like some of the republicans have proposed if you drive a hybrid or electric car you should pay more because you don't use as much gasoline. There argument is that they receive highway funds from gasoline taxes.

However, you can't have it both ways. Do they want clean energy, and energy independence or just a quick buck so PGE can keep their corporate bosses happy to the life style they are accustomed to?
