  Yeah, really weird. It seems like they had some kind of agenda or point to make, but they’re going about it a very strange way.

    Yeah they seem to be making a big deal out of nothing.

      They have like 3 conversations that are 25 comments deep displaying the same pedantic and confrontational conversational style. No point, just ‘you’re wrong’ wrapped in different toxic packages.

  Are you a fucking moron? What’s to stop anyone from installing an uncertified product?

    What’s to stop anyone from installing a panel without a licensed reviewer taking a look?

      How much energy does your panel pump into the grid?

        What’s stopping me from plugging a diesel generator into my house when the power goes out? Generators are common in rural America. Don’t require a license either.

    How can cars exist when anyone could do an illegal thing to modify them?!?

      Illegal things are illegal. Good job. This is not. That’s the point.

        And things that are regulated are regulated.

        That’s the point.

        What is the point? I mean, truly, what is it that you’re trying to convey in this thread?

        Do us all a favor and use a few sentences to explain that your point actually is here because clearly you’re trying to make a point but you’re going about it in a very strange way.

    The world is built around the idea that people follow the rules. If you plug in an uncertified device, you are breaking the law. It’s as simple as that.

    You realize you could fucking plug ANYTHING into electrical systems now? How many people make Widowmaker cords for generators and back feed the fucking grid during outages? This is not some new problem.

    If you’re found fucking around, you find out with a big ass fine/jail. That’s how it works.

      Except it’s not that simple, because it’s not illegal.

      You realize that’s illegal?
