Commercial solar can't stand on its own, in an open market, in our Upstate NY climate. Maine has similar weather as well. When a form of energy converts at only 12-15% of its annual potential, it needs a disgusting amount of subsidies and credits to insulate it from the ebbs and flows of an open market. That's why @NYSERDA takes money from the ratepayers of this state through our delivery charges and SBC charges on our electric bills. That's why your electric bill tripled in one-year. Here's what's happening in Maine this week: "Ownership stakes in 19 Maine solar projects are headed to a foreclosure auction. And while some developers face financial trouble, Mainers are still being forced to help fund this industry through electric bills they can barely afford, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a year going forward." We need change in our New York State government... and fast. We need a new governor.
