If renewables are cost competitive, what does one need an RET for? Business should be rushing in to install them.
And why do the poor have to subsidize the rich through cross subsidies in the power bills (tenants have a hard time installing solar panels in their rental properties, then moving them from property to property)?
Curiously though, I have friend who works for a major company who says the company will be installing so many solar panels to provide all its electricity needs, with a six year payback period. And that this is due to the huge price drop in solar panels. If this all works out, the question is still, why does one need an RET?
