No net metering without grid connection, no net metering controversy where wires and energy products are unbundled

An overview of net metering issues – with a possible model resolving some of them.
“one can oppose net metering and still favor “energy choice.” In fact, net metering is in the end incompatible with energy choice since net metering requires a grid connection and a cross-subsidy from grid-connected, non-net metered customers to survive. Giving energy choice to the customers subsidizing their solar-paneled neighbors will, if the burden grows large enough, push unsubsidized customers off the grid.”
