No.Can you take a picture of this?
Because of this.a lawsuit waiting to happen (me included if I had a neighbor wanting to do this).
You realize it is a rendering, right? It is a wall in front of a solid wall that is going to pass very little flow.Can you take a picture of this? I've been curious if there can eventually be some ground mount wind turbines, but most look too bulky for a basic city/suburb solution.
Anything that can possibly block anyone's view is probably a no go or a lawsuit waiting to happen (me included if I had a neighbor wanting to do this).
I remember seeing this a while back, but no clue how much energy something like this can even generate (at least it's low on the ground). No updates in 2 years, probably vaporware/scam:
There was a Sunset magazine design house smack-dab in SF's MIssion District about 15 years ago, that had a working wind turbine on the roof, partially visible here:I think most residential housing areas would not allow big wind turbines. Where do you get water for hydro unless you are by a river and then its probably illegal to do that. In any case, I still think you need a generator
Newsom is bought and paid for by the utilities (as well as medical industry). Fat chance of any improvement there.A large percent of our State is subjugated by the investor owned utilities (the largest: PG&E, SoCal Edison, and SDG&E). This is out of control and as we have discussed endlessly, our Governor is a cornerstone enabler of their corruption.
It seems like an astute candidate for the 2026 election for governor could make IOU crackdown/dismemberment a central platform issue. Newsom may run for president in 2026 so an upcoming Democrat interested in governorship might be wise to run with this. If not, even in our blue State, a Republican would have a decent chance of winning on that agenda.
Corrupt.The Goveernor gets to hold secret meetings with PG&E??

Californians could see up to $128 fixed charge added to their monthly electric bill
The monthly charge would be assessed regardless of any energy conservation efforts or solar production at home. Eighteen California Congressional representatives wrote a letter to the Public Utilities Commission warning the proposed charge would harm low- and middle income residents and...pv-magazine-usa.com

There was also a question answered about how they are going to determine income level. For CARE and FERA customers they stated it wasn't necessary because that was already established. They stated for the 3rd bracket it wasn't necessary but there are 4 brackets in the tables. I don't understand their answer. I guess it depends on something happening in the future. So it appears that if you aren't CARE and/or FERA then they are proposing a $51 monthly fee for PG&E & SCE customers in the near term.As the above proposal does not make mention of the existing fees, I can't tell. It quotes text from '205 requiring

It then goes on to quote a two dollar reduction in monthly fees for FAER consumers;

Not sure whether "fixed charge" means MDC or something else.
Yea, the story says $24.15 is the latest proposed monthly fixed charge. The $51 and $73 rates were turned down. Personally, I could live with $24.15 but it would be interesting to see is treated like a minimum delivery charge or if any energy use gets tacked on to the fixed fee.I have lost track of all the rate proposals that the CPUC and the for profit utility corporations have on the table, so I'm not sure if the proposal below is just one more or if this is the CPUC's response to the utilities' $128/month flat charge proposal.
California proposal would change how power bills are calculated, aiming to relieve summer spikes
It's become a rite of summer in sunny California: When the temperature spikes, so do electricity bills, leaving some customers with monthly payments over $500.www.kcra.com
The story suggests that it is the latter. But the only thing I'm sure about is there will be several more proposals to weaken or kill off rooftop solar before the year is over.
