Yeah, California recently slashed the rate quite a bit. I hadn't heard about Oregon. I believe I read something recently about 2023 being a year to watch for WA net metering policy but can't recall where I found that. Would be great if someone could add to this.

You're almost certainly not going to produce enough power most of the year to make an off-grid system with batteries cost effective. The claims in the commercials are about net metering, which can work if you size it correctly.

The "paid to go solar" claim is likely a reference to the net metering programs with your utility. This means you need to get an array big enough to overproduce in the summer months. The utility then buys the overage from you at a set rate and then credits you back in the darker months to offset your bills.

I've looked into it a fair bit but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

And then the theater burned down.

But is he elite?

And just like Tinder, they don't read your bio before contacting you.

Watched the first couple episodes and it’s ok. But what is with all the really noticeable digital smoothing on a lot of the actors? Acne?

Yes, but the key here is to look at how much of the usable land goes to growing crops specifically meant to go to livestock (127.4 million acres vs for livestock feed vs 77.3 million acres for what we consume). When you combine this with the water use, waste and emissions from livestock, it's a huge waste.
