-----
Anyone living in Oklahoma planning to power their home using a
rooftop solar panel will soon be charged a fee for the right to do
that while still being connected to the local power grid.
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin signed the "solar surcharge" bill into
law on Monday, permitting utilities to charge an extra fee to any
customer using distributed power generation, such as rooftop solar
or a small wind turbine.

That is right: if you produce your own energy, and do so in a way which has
*less* impact on your neighbors and is better for the environment, you now
have to *pay* others for, um, not harming them as much. If you provide more
energy than you use and put it into the grid for others to use, you are
charged to help maintain the grid *others* are using.
This is insane. And which party is backing it?
Not that the Democrats do not back insane things - they do - but more often
than not when one party or the other is backing something which is just
black and white bat-shit crazy you can bet it will be the Republics backing
it.
