So many problems with these statements.
One. I already sell my product. To the only buyer I am legally allowed to sell it to - Duke Energy. By paying me below market rates, they make the choice to use their own distribution system to buy it from me.
But now, they aren't really buying it from me any more, they are confiscating it. They are taking the surplus, but not paying me for it any longer. They are doing this by charging me $360/year, but only paying me back $286/year.
I could understand a minimum rate if I wasn't supplying them with a large surplus of energy which they then profit from. I should be able to charge them $30/month for the right to buy that energy from me at 75% discounted rates compared to what they are then charging customers for the energy I just provided them. How is that any different?
