It's crazy to me that a destructive photovoltaic solar project like this one is considered reasonable, but a new nuclear power plant within or adjacent to a city is beyond the pale.

This is why new versions of net metering is a bad idea

[–] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How? What are the differences between the new and old versions of net metering in California that are affecting this situation?

I think the new version of net metering pays homeowners less than it did previously, for power that they feed into the grid, disincentivizing rooftop solar.
