Simple policies are easy to understand, easy to comply with and have more predictable externalities and second order effects.
The PG&E poppycock is hard to understand. Even I do not fully understand their BS like net metering.
Just make solar panels cheaper so that a lot of people see benefit in buying them to meet their energy needs and lower the energy costs in a way it benefits PG&E too.
If I understand correctly, installing a better + solar panels might solve a lot of these problems for some homes.
