Today, I generate ~150% net of usage (to accommodate a future EV) and pay a fixed $17 per month. My surplus gets credited at some pitiful per-kWh rate such that I actually wind up paying about $120 per year rather than the $204 I would with exactly net zero. The end result for me *TODAY* is basically the same as for you: going off the grid doesn't make sense. Which is why I'm on the grid right now. But, if the SRP proposal goes through, it'll either be a fixed $50 or $67 per month, meaning possibly up to $804 per year. And that's assuming they don't alter the deal further, in the spirit of Darth Vader. Now re-run your calculations with those numbers and see if they still make the same kind of "no-brainer" sense. b& _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
