This is your SolarWakeup for November 17th, 2014

It was bound to happen, unfortunately, at some point. A public service commission, Wisconsin in this case, voted 2-1 to charge a devastating fee on solar users. This means that a single person in Wisconsin has chosen, for the millions of Wisconsinites, that solar shouldn’t be on the same playing field as the power companies. Surely more on this to come, would love to see Elon Musk make a comment about it.
