Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Just getting home from an early morning duck hunting trip. It was 20° and not a cloud or duck in the sky. I've got to get some better long handles if I'm going to continue to silly like this in the morning. I think my cousin is a bad influence on me.

Kind of like all those wind farms near Don's place. The company who installed the system paid for everything. I agreed to purchase the power that I produce at a slightly lower rate than I can buy it from our usual provider (Portland General Electric, aka PGE). During peak sunny times when the system produces more power than I can use during the day they sell it back to PGE as "green power" at a much higher rate for some Eco-Hippie to buy.

But the Oregon PUC passed an order for the PGE to charge rate payers for the cost differential. So we are paying PGE to pay the higher Solar supplier rate so that PGE comes out break even and then sells the power to the eco hippies at an even greater profit. Look at your bill for the 137 Solar Cost Adjustment.

Good afternoon Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Have to make a trip into McMinnville. I'm sure that it will be fun. Oh joy, 30 miles of Hwy 18 on a "this is how to be an idiot driver day!"
