ALERT: Contrary to industry-sponsored #AB1139, research shows local solar + storage (rooftops, schools, etc.) can save US $473B and create 2M more jobs by 2050. It is the *most* cost-effective & equitable way to reach our climate goals. 1๏ธโƒฃ @drvolts volts.wtf/p/rooftop-solaโ€ฆ
2๏ธโƒฃ Growth in local solar/storage can bring prices down because:

๐Ÿ‘‰ reduces distribution/transmission costs (more electricity is generated, stored locally) = grid resilience.

๐Ÿ‘‰ reduces the need for power plants that only run during peak periods (instead of gas/coal plants).
๐Ÿ‘‰ over time, reduces the need for more capital expenditures (and the 10% markup from utility monopoly) which is eventually passed on to ratepayers.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Reduces line loss as it travels through lines (5% of energy lost this way).

๐Ÿ‘‰Makes grid more resilient (fewer outages). 3๏ธโƒฃ
