Solar power industry has fight on its hands in Arkansas legislature

There's a Fight Brewing Over Who Profits From Solar Power – Mother Jones

 

A solar fight is underway before the Arkansas legislature and it involves attempts to reduce reimbursements for solar users.

The cause of the fight is House Bill 1370, a measure with the goal “to prevent cost-shifting and ensure fairness to all ratepayers.”
