Even when I thought I would have the means to do something I felt doing batteries would kind of be the better first step. Instead of thinking about lowering costs it is more about comfort during blackouts. would be interesting to see how much you could save by buying off peak power. Then figure solar or such later is gravy.
Why States Are Making It Harder to Save Money With Solar Panels | The changes are costing homeowners money. But they also reflect a changing grid — and the need for home batteries.

Which states, NYT? Could there be some common descriptor that would fit in the headline?

I’m pretty sure this is yet another example of the wealthy vs everybody else situation, so some of the Democrats succumb to
bribery, campaign donations from corporate “constituents”. I like to think there are more Democrats with a sense of civic duty than there are Republicans. This is why paying attention to the actual candidate’s pitch and history is important. Don’t vote “party line”.More permissive siting policies can legitimately be hard choices for the greater benefit of the community. Seek nuance when evaluating such policies.
Cannot recommend DuckDuckGo’s NoAi page enough so that we can avoid encouraging the construction of yet more data centers and the destruction for both the climate and the local environment they are built in.

the article is about how much money utilities buy back extra power from solar for. So, slightly different. Though the rule of thumb still applies as home batteries’ subsidy was eliminated by our demented rapist puppet of big oil.
