2. A civil war within the solar ranks?

Is this not a concentrating/thermal solar company trying to structure the system to benefit them over PV?

Either way, something like this seems like a very good idea. If you just throw dollars on the table to encourage construction, you end up with potential grid issues (must as Germany is struggling with for offshore wind and north/south transmission lines). This sounds like a more sophisticated system aimed at targeting dollars where they can do the most good.

Do you know whether the proposed formula is intended to fluctuate over time for a given plant or lock in variables at construction?
