Comment on Texas Senate passes anti-solar, wind bill

Senate Bill 819 requires solar and wind projects of 10 MW or larger to obtain a permit from the Texas Utilities Commission to interconnect to the grid.
Can the homeowners just do home solar and not interconnect it to the grid? I mean, can they get off the grid altogether, while doing solar for their individual homes? Or maybe, neighborhood-wide solar grids that are off the TUC’s city grid? Or am I misunderstanding?

I’m not sure actually, i never bothered to read the whole bill, but it seems like smaller individual homes are untouched as long as they are under 10MW

Even above 10MW, I think it allows them, so long as they don’t connect back to the main grid. But, I’m not a lawyer, and the language they used is very lawyery.

Oh I see. God forbid those sun loving liberals taint our god loving coal energy with cancer rays!

Wait. I never thought of that. The rays do cause cancer. Where do I vote against them? We must darken those cancer rays! Think of the children!
