[Jack Aylmer]
SOLAR PANELS ARE DRIVING UP ENERGY BILLS FOR RESIDENTS IN CALIFORNIA-
WHILE ALSO MAKING ELECTRICITY PRICES CHEAPER FOR THOSE LIVING IN OTHER STATES.
THIS IS BECAUSE RIGHT NOW CALIFORNIA IS MAKING MORE SOLAR POWER THAN IT CAN USE.
OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS, THE STATE HAS BEEN FORCED TO CURTAIL MORE THAN 3 MILLION MEGAWATTS WORTH OF SOLAR ENERGY-
ENOUGH POWER TO KEEP OVER HALF A MILLION CALIFORNIA HOMES RUNNING FOR A YEAR.
IT’S A PROBLEM THAT’S ONLY GOTTEN WORSE AS THE STATE ADDED MORE SOLAR PANELS, INCREASING ABOUT 20-FOLD OVER THE LAST 11 YEARS.
THE AMOUNT OF SOLAR ENERGY CALIFORNIA HAD TO WASTE THIS YEAR IS MORE THAN DOUBLE THE TOTAL IN 20-21-
AND AN EIGHT TIMES INCREASE FROM 2017 LEVELS.
EXPERTS CALCULATE THE RETAIL VALUE OF SOLAR ENERGY THAT THE STATE THREW AWAY IN 2024 IS WORTH UPWARDS OF A BILLION DOLLARS.
SOLAR ENERGY NEEDS SUNLIGHT TO PRODUCE POWER, WHICH MAKES CALIFORNIA’S SUNNY CLIMATE IDEAL FOR THIS…
