Why Are We Paying For Electric?
With all the marketing and social media coverage on alternative energy, Only 13% of electricity in America came from it.
I am happy that there is a surge in desire for alternative energy. Though being a low percentage, it's progress.
That aside, what bothers me is what I see in these pitches and advertisements for alternative energy. Specifically in solar energy.
The gist of the advertisements go as such, "Go Solar Today and SAVE on your Electric Bill!"... So, what you're telling me is; your company will put panels on or around my house, that collect energy from the sun, and still charge me for energy use? I don't understand.

It makes sense to me that General Electric or the Department of Water and Power charges for electric that comes from their plants. They're they ones that burn the fuel that creates the electricity and sends it through power lines that power our homes. Okay, cool. I can reason with that.
But I cannot reason with paying a company a bi-monthly bill on power I'm generating myself. I don't need the power from the plant or from the power lines to receive energy since there's plenty to spare coming from my roof.
Now with the Tesla Battery, I'm confounded at the fact that anyone would have to pay money to a company that does nothing for you...(Ahem IRS...).

Of course, it'll probably take a while for those companies to lose that portion of profit. Daily there are still lobbyists that fight for burning fossil fuels for energy, social propaganda spurning alternatives and an utter lack of knowledge in highly conservative states.
But, when that all fails the government has their ace in the hole. It is Illegal to produce your own energy and go "Off The Grid".

On a side note, my gut tells me the reason why GE is airing these commercials stating, "We do other stuff than just energy" is because they understand that the fossil fuel based electric pot will be going dry soon.
Even today, the money-hungry 1% is still derailing Tesla's dream of having free electricity for all. Maybe it'll be more of a debate once a higher percentage of America is Alternative. That's the hope for a lot of things I suppose.

Because you are taking big money away from the power companies, you still have to pay someone, and don't leave out your uncle. Which is the reason green hasn't caught on, and they thought America was stupid.
ReplyDeleteThis is true, but that's the big downside of this society. We shouldn't be giving them money for nothing. They need to rework their business for the future like every other business does.
ReplyDeleteThese are industries that have no path to the future so they are to big to fail, and it is more about how many people they employ. All of this should have been stopped years ago, now it is to late.
