A proposal to cut incentives for rooftop solar power in California has drawn criticism from some environmentalists, Hollywood stars and business leaders, including Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk
that calls on Gov. Gavin Newsom and the CPUC to reject “the proposed solar tax,” and instructs visitors on how to submit feedback to the relevant public bodies and officials.
“However, because the Commission is mandated to create a tariff that adheres to the entire statute—including equity concerns—the growth of the market should not come at the undue and burdensome financial expense of nonparticipant Ratepayers,” it said. A spokesman for the Democratic governor said that the CPUC is an independent commission, which will ultimately decide on the matter.
