Missourians wanting to power their own homes are finding it difficult

[proud2BlibKansan]

That solar panel you were planning to install? The one that would let you power your own home and then sell the leftover electricity?

You might want to put a hold on that.

Two problems have popped up with a new Missouri law that was supposed to make it easy for homeowners to put in their own wind turbines or solar panels and send any excess power back to utilities:

•The Missouri Public Service Commission, which oversees utilities, is requiring homeowners to buy insurance before they can begin feeding electricity to the grid.

•It appears no insurance companies in Missouri sell that insurance.
