The response was exactly what I expected from the association, contractors, supply houses, and from the utility. I've seen around the country. Yes, absolutely unthinkable for some. I'm not advocating that anyone do this, but I'd personally rather work with them than have the electric company start hiring their own service people. Maybe someone will have to come up with some type of contractors' union.
New problems create new challenges.
So, don't get me wrong. I'm not siding with or giving into utility incursions into our business after all these years of fighting. I am, however, beginning to realize that they have an interest they're not ready to give up. He is available to write company case histories and corporate brochures. Saving energy saves dollars and makes sense.
