Solar Rate Change Rejected

The following clips speak to this last week's agenda item on SDE&G's rate hike proposal. Since SDE&G has a zillion dollars and a whole marketing department, their presentation gets short shrift here. The emphasis is on the Solar Coalition position.


There were so many good (informative) speakers it was difficult to edit. Included here is a speaker with historical information, a small business voice, a story of an older couple planning for retirement and a new resident who made informed choices - twice - to invest in solar.


Do you get the impression the supermajority (except for mayor Stocks) were awkward with breaking from the public utility associates? I'm not sure we've heard the last of this. The
"I'm more green than you" tone was reminiscent of high school. Good for Barth for refuting that approach to green.
