On the internet, you can indeed claim to be anyone, even an urban planner.

My solar experience is practical and hands on. I don't surf websites looking for more marketing hype to post, I run about as large a solar plant out there short of a commercial operation...literally all the power the lines can handle.

You vision of an equitable price is actually giving to the well off from the rest of the people. Your fixation on higher pricing without considering the impact across the rest the user base is willful blindness. It certainly is not progressive.

If you get your way, I will make more money...I just think the total social cost needs to be considered
