    And we’ll see that trickle down through the rest of the economy and not just go into the bank accounts of the executives… right?

      Where I live the power company wants a 30% increase because, according to them, the price of natural gas has been too volatile. Yet the conservative consumers are blaming it on renewables.

    My electricity statement showed the second rate reduction in 2 months. This would explain why.

    Somehow I doudt that I received the full benefit but at least it went down which is more than I can say about petrol prices.

      You are thinking of socialism, not communism. Citizens share ownership of property with socialism. Communism - property is owned by the state. Give should seize control and give to citizens in something like a Co-op.

            Absolutely but we as humanity should be looking to benefit all. But I agree. Solar should be shared out. Local community grids
