The entire CPUC needs to be fired and replaced. Their only interest is utility profits, ahead of consumers and the environment.

Could they take the KCC with them when they go?
@KGinKS With battery storage and panels almost twice as efficient as 15 years ago, solar might make sense even without net metering.Also it might be too expensive for a single house to go off grid, with extra battery and backup generator. But it might be feasible for a neighborhood to go off grid, sharing battery and generator. Of course utilities try to prohibit such customer escapes with state regulations against microgrids.
@KGinKS Talk about hostility to renewable energy! https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2023/08/10/kansas-couples-solar-panels-could-result-lien-property/

I had an acquaintance in Arkansas offer to measure my house for solar panels 15 years ago. I said Kansas doesn't do net metering. He said never mind.
It's better now but not much.
