"Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin signed the "solar surcharge" bill into law on Monday, Permitting utilities to charge an extra fee to any customer using distributed power generation, such as rooftop solar or a small wind turbine." (Source)
So basically if anyone has solar or wind power attached to their home that they send to the grid, they will be taxed on the extra energy they produced when trying to send it back to the grid. This is instead of homeowners recieving credits from the utility companies whom recieve this extra (clean) energy like in most other states.
Oklahoma is caught in the resource trap and in turn is to making it more difficult to advance its green energy sector and supports the greed from oil and gas. THIS IS DISGUSTING!!
