Net Metering: "Freeing the Grid"

The Network for New Energy Choices (NNEC) report "Freeing the Grid,? is
the first report
ever to rank and grade the effectiveness of 34 state programs designed to
help
homeowners and small businesses generate their own distributed energy and
sell the
excess back to the central transmission grid. These ?net metering?
programs have been
described as having the most potential of any policy tool at any level of
government to
?green? American electricity sources.

?Every homeowner and every small business is a potential source of
reliable, renewable
electricity for their community,? noted NNEC Executive Director Chris
Cooper. ?Smart
utilities realize that we will have to tap all of these small sources to
meet future
demand.?

By comparing regulations with customer participation rates, NNEC was able
to identify
which states had the best programs and which states had the worst (and
why).

New Jersey ranked first out of 34 states with net metering programs.
Indiana and
Arkansas were profiled as states with ?worst practices?. Oklahoma ranked
last. Read the
report to find out what your state is doing to require net-metering.

The Network for New Energy Choices (NNEC) is committed to providing state
and local
governments with new ideas and useful information to promote clean,
affordable power
from local, renewable energy sources. NNEC is promoting creative ideas
for financing
community-based clean energy, helping to dispel misinformation about
renewable energy in
the media and advocating for critical utility policy reforms that will
usher in a new
world of energy choices for all Americans.





Net metering is an outright scam that flat out robs the majority of
utility users.

It is stealing, plain and simple.

Who are you accusing of stealing from whom?
Is the power company stealing from the builidng generating the extra juice
or the other way around?
