I worked for a large regulated utility and have been in the energy industry for the better part of a decade. I am familiar with the technology and the financial incentives that drive utility decisions. Efficient energy and distributed customer-owned generation scare the shit out of them. The game utilities play is to build/own as many assets as the regulators allow and earn that sweet regulated return. They absolutely LOVE the idea of overbuilding generation! I’m not saying climate change is or isn’t real, I’m simply saying that corporate propaganda is leveraging climate change fear to push us into a product that primarily benefits them, not us. |
