Via my internet friend Dan, a
story about National Grid trying to stop electrification.
> While Mass Save is funded by ratepayers, the program itself is run by gas and electric utilities including National Grid.
I was surprised by this when I first signed up for Mass Save, and it was unnerving.
The seeming contradiction of the rule — that rebates to curb the use of fossil fuels can only be received by those who commit to using more — has renewed calls to remove the Mass Save program from the utilities’ control and reform the way rebates are offered in Massachusetts.
Government just continues to be in love with putting for-profit companies in charge of organizations and regulations that those companies can take advantage of. I wonder if I'll run into weird hurdles when we try to get solar panels.
