@TechConnectify re:rooftop solar, there's been active work on the policy side for how to fairly compensate for the benefits the resource contributes to the grid. As more solar comes online, the value increasingly depends where exactly the rooftop solar is located so it can substitute for new transmission and distribution infrastructure. This article is a good primer

Distributed Energy Still Isn’t Valued Properly, Report Finds

The result is underpaying on some small-scale projects and overpaying for others, with billions of dollars on the line.

@jasserole Frankly, I don't intend on making content specifically about DER and all that.

But it does irk me that folks I otherwise admire seemingly aren't getting this issue. Rooftop solar is just really hard to manage well, and it's not too surprising to me that some utilities are saying "hold on, we need to figure this out." I think we should figure it out, yeah, but I wouldn't paint it as malice as some do.
