you know what is popular? it's not dividends, it's solar subsidies and net metering.

You know what california democrat country club policy makers hate? that solar has become affordable that lower and lower middle income people are installing solar in ever growing numbers. Solar is supposed to be exclusively a class signal of status and wealth, and if the smelly plebs that drive their cars (Parasite reference) are installing solar, then california democrat country club policy makers are determined to stop those poors and put them in their place and make sure they can't get any benefit from it, because what good is a class status and wealth signal if that signal is not artificially scarce.

The devious genius of the democrat country club policy makers is that they get Berkeley experts to oil-wash their anti-solar policies by saying they're doing it FOR the smelly poors they hate. (Get it? It's the opposite of green-washing.)

It's really brilliant, Solar has become affordable to the poors, the california democrat country club policy response is to make Solar unaffordable for the poors while saying doing so is to "HELP" the poors. The desired outcome is to reduce solar installation by the poors and it's done by making solar more expensive.

DEMOCRATS! A successful and popular policy has to be killed because democrats hate success and popularity, no wonder they lose elections in places that aren't California.
