They were made to do it through state legislation. If it went away they would be fine. With that being said, on the larger scale size (3MW projects here in PA) they aren't as upset with it as they get to pawn off utility upgrade costs to the developers. With resi, they just have to deal with the load shifting and payments,\. Heck, PECO has been showing me with an "estimate" bill for the last 7 months. Finally got them to I think fix it as I told them I would file a complaint with PSC if it wasn't fixed.

But on the utility side, net metering should be baked into their overall smart metering solution. When they got grants to put in smart meters, they had to support net metering, HAN, etc to get their DOE funding. Many utilities jumped on it, including Exelon (I did PHIs), because they were able to lower their overall operational costs (RC/DC was a huge savings, automated outage notification saves on customer service costs, etc) by implementing all AMI had to offer while being heavily subsidized by the government.So billing SHOULDN'T be an issue if they did it right. Load management however….Funny thing is, HAN never took off despite the AMI gold rush in the late 2000s/2010s, but is becoming huge with ADMS/DERMS initiatives. Ironically EVs and Solar is driving that now. In fact, I’m on a IIJA backed DER project these days.

So while not fully getting rid of it, they have greatly reduced it.

Better for torpedoes at sea. To be fair battleships in WWII became far less important than aircraft carriers, though naval warfare in the Pacific vs Atlantic was very different. Subs/u-boats going after the supply ships heading to England were more effective than the Bismarck. I'd defer to Bill, but that's largely my read on WWII naval.

In the pacific, radar controlled guns were a game changer, but when it came to softening up ground targets, it turns out huge guns don’t matter when the enemy is living in caves dug out from volcanic rock.My thoughts on this guy’s predilections are that a person is largely defined by the media they consume during their late childhood to preteen years. That bozo spent too much time watching the the History Channel’s programming on Hitler’s Secret Weapons, and not what the cool kids like me were watching, which were History Channel shows about Patton and the fruits of American industry killing fascists by the bushel and also how Montgomery was a ussy.
