what is the status of NEM 3?
You shoulda called in yesterday man.
The CPUC's response to that question about NEM 3.0 was:
"Call 707-205-6577 or 415-513-3871 during normal business hours"

what is the status of NEM 3?
Yep, depends on how much you drive. EV's are NOT cheap, and most are just tiny carsHigher and higher energy prices is incentive enough. For low energy users, there is no reason to get solar at all (I have wealthy neighbors with like ~$100/month bills).
Look at gas prices now hitting $110+/barrel. It was ~$66 3 months ago. If Russia cuts off supply, expect $150+? EV owners saving probably $100/fill up (assuming someone still has a fairly long commute). Nothing like saving $$ as an incentive to go green.

he lives close to a lake .. i'm sure he'll be fineDude, you’re about to get flamed saying this on an EV forum.
Why, its true. At 6'5, another reason I would not get one, most are designed for midgetsDude, you’re about to get flamed saying this on an EV forum.

i don't have experience with "most" ev's but my model 3 fits freaks well over 6' as well as the uhm horizontally challengedHave you even test driven a Model S or Model X?
If you can drive an early 90's Nissan Maxima comfortably, you'd be fine in a Model 3. Maybe you should get in line with jboy and get a F150 Lightning.

I drive a mini van, and nothing else. A leaf and bolt are for tiny people.My neighbor is 6' 5" and he drives a Chevy Volt just fine while also being a bit on the horizontal side. I think H2ofun has some wacky bias that EVs are all Leafs and Bolts. Once he installs all those EV chargers and gets penalized under NEM 3.0 to export energy, we can all drive our big well-leg-roomed EVs to his house for charging.

love itHey ya'll, I found a picture of his minivan.

Did you call those numbers to get an update about NEM 3.0?
Well, didn't we have higher oil prices some years ago? We are here, we survived and flourished.Higher and higher energy prices is incentive enough. For low energy users, there is no reason to get solar at all (I have wealthy neighbors with like ~$100/month bills).

Still not answered? I am sure someone here mentioned that it is tabled for the time, a redo perhaps.what is the status of NEM 3?
Checked: Jun 2008, $179; May 1980, $137Well, didn't we have higher oil prices some years ago? We are here, we survived and flourished.
Sure, but voters still hate it. That's why even with a government that supposedly is all for being green and anti-oil, they are doing everything to keep gas prices low (even throwing around the idea of suspending the federal gas tax).Well, didn't we have higher oil prices some years ago?

Other than the first one, these would still have the public be carrying the bag. NRDC even during the solar fight, have always held a middling position in terms of actual policy recommendations, something they use to say they are not utility shills (while being the only major environmental group defending/presenting the core points of the utility position, namely the fixed fee, much lower NEM payments and the point about solar users impacting poorer families).Dunno if you all saw this, but there's a proceeding with the CPUC to address the high energy prices in general.

It's just brainstorming now; but it's still interesting they aren't throwing solar-fat-cats under the bus (yet).
Also, an interesting set of possible solutions from the NRDC (yes, the same ones that were accused of being pro-utility):
- Lowering utility profit rates on capital projects (ROE) to 7% could result in a 5% reduction in electricity rates.
- Making taxpayers pay for low-income assistance programs (Public Purpose Programs) could result in a 7% electricity rate reduction. (SDG&E estimates a 6% reduction in its area).
- Public ownership of transmission lines results in an estimated 4% rate reduction.
- Charging all utility customers a fixed, $20-per-month charge results in an estimated 13% reduction in electric rates.
