The only difference in Florida and California on this issue is that it is the democrats, meaning Newsom and the democrats in the state legislature that destroyed our net metering. And worse! Has brought us a utility income tax. I use zero electricity from the grid ever. Yet, by laws passed recently, I must be connected to the grid plus I have to pay $128/mo in order to be hooked up, even if I use zero power!
I will say that I am a democrat, yet I am furious with the democrat majority legislature that has been gifting SCE, PGE, and SDGE incredible profits. These are the three for profit utilities in California. Even though there is 60 not for profit utilities in California, these three profit crooks serve 75% of the population. The not for profit utilities in California have electric rates that are a fraction in cost.
