And you're okay with that? There is SO much about that that is completely wrong. They're penalizing someone for trying to be independent...that's freaking un-American.

I guess you just don't understand the way economics works. The Co-op connected this business to the grid with the assumption that they would make a sufficient return on investment to pay for it. Now the business is going to generate their own power and reduce the Co-op's RTI so of course they need to charge more
