The article is trying so hard it's hard to tell what the actual issue is. It is dangerous to backfeed the grid -- you may kill the line worker coming to fix a blown transformer or downed line. In some places a grid connection is considered necessary by the building code. If so, you must use proper equipment.

#13I say this not to blame more but to motivate people to take responsibility and to act, to stop people from thinking they're powerless (no pun intended).

#14This seems to be straight from a dystopian movie or book I'm not sure it isn't a joke. Is the "get off my lawn" a thing of the past in US? What business have US gov, or anybody else for that matter, to do with what I do on my property?

The title is very misleading as well. Just goes to show that Fox News and their ilk aren't the only ones who do fake news, it's journalism in general.
Also, the title is an outright lie: "Thanks to Lobbying, It's Illegal to Power Your Home with Solar Panels in Florida"

#20You can point fingers and say it was them lobbying, but everyone who didn't do something to act in the opposite direction could have influenced but didn't. I say this not to blame more but to motivate people to take responsibility and to act, to stop people from thinking they're powerless (no pun intended).
I think people here are disappointed not so much in this particular outcome, but the harmful effects of a political system that is nearly entirely fueled by lobby money.
I mean, in other countries they call that "corruption".
