Los Angeles Electric Rate Linked to Solar Power
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER

Summary:Los Angeles averages more than 300 days of sunshine a yearIt would seem, then, that solar energy would be a thriving local industry here but that has never been the case, and cost is the main reason.Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is going to pass a roughly 5 percent rate increase on electricity use. The proceeds would be earmarked for renewable energy purchases and programs, including one that would repay people or businesses that use solar panels to contribute to the power grid.
Response: This is good and bad because if you think of it economically it would suck if your electric bill went up, especially now when money is so tight, but overall it will have a positive effect and maybe cause people to stop wasting energy.
