I like this -- solar taxes as a revenue source for municipalities.
// The burst of solar activity has been welcome financially for Vulcan County. In recent years, some fossil fuel companies have walked away from properties, leaving outstanding tax bills unpaid, resulting in the county cutting its budget by 30 per cent, said the county's reeve, Jason Schneider.
According to Schneider, tax from renewable energy projects makes up 45 per cent of the county's revenue: about 25 per cent of which is solar and 20 per cent wind.
"It subsidizes everything," he said. "It's paying for libraries, it's paying for roads, it's paying for bridges." //

Are you tired of electricity bills that make no sense to you? Fixed charges. "access fees". "rate riders...???" No-one that helps you understand them.
Solar electricity is remote fusion energy delivered directly to YOU -- safe, simple, reliable, affordable, democratic, right now -- with NO utility middle man.
With the right design, you too can have an electricity bill that is a net annual credit. Ask me how. Let's get started.

Wow, what an amazing engineering career this would be...
-- being part of a team on the forefront of supporting Canada's widespread adoption of EVs, solar PV and the decarbonisation electrification-of-everything energy transformation with the City of Edmonton's very-own electricity utility company.
