Everything you need to know about California's plan to slash solar incentives

Here is a link to send a message to Gov Newsom, please do. I intend to be at the protest Thur!
The sun belongs to everyone, not the utilities.
.@GavinNewsom: The CPUC's solar proposal is too extreme. The sun belongs to everyone, not the utilities. #KeepSolarGrowing and #SaveSolar.solarrights.org
This is a huge deal and everyone should voice their opinion as it can destroy the solar market in CA and elsewhere.
I think it's good to send messages to your Gov. but I don't think he is required to pass the comments onto the body responsible for making the rules and regulating utilities rate schedules, the California Public Utilities Commision. The Gov. appoints the commission members, but it is for six-year terms.
While the Governor is swayed by general public sentiment and sheer numbers, the CPUC must follow more of a legal framework and comments are weighed in a more legalistic framework. So, if you raise legal issues about changing the rates after the fact, complying with global warming mandates,, etc. it forces the lawyers to consider the legal ramifications (if they do their jobs properly) because your comments will remain on the public record long after the decision is made. Your comments become a legal part of the decision.
You can submit comments to the CPUC four different ways:
