    Here in California our utility keeps burning down entire towns so now we pay $.60-$.70 per kW/h. It’s insane. They still don’t maintain infrastructure, they just pass on the cost of lawsuits.

      Sheesh, we went from .129 to .189 and I got rooftop solar in protest (which is only going to burn my own house down).

        Yea rooftop solar here got so popular because of the pricing which means they decided to cut the rates that they will pay you for generation. So in the same instant they will charge you $.70 to draw power but only give you $.12 for power fed back in during the same time period.
