Many people in a business like push that business. Listening to your podcast it feels like your presenting a list of issues that should be addressed. Due to all the mindless ( sorry “ well intended”) rules put in place by government bodies and power companies ( not mindless just greedy) it’s a tough road to suss out.
I love how California is making everything electric and yet making electricity more difficult. I have been thinking about Solar for a while but it wasn’t till I came across this podcast that I feel I’m more informed.
