Wait. I missed this. California Public Advocates Office updated the NEM cost-shift for non-adopters to $8.5 billion in 2024 (!). For context, the 2023 total revenue requirement for all three IOUs in California was $34.18 billion. www.publicadvocates.cpuc.ca.gov/-/media/cal-...

Film has always been expensive, but I'm dusting off my old Minolta for a photo walk, and a roll just cost $15 😵
