Legislation to open the door for small plug-in solar panels hit roadblocks, including safety concerns raised by the state’s electrical workers union
Ugh, this is a long solved issue with inverters immediatly shutting off when they lose grid connection.
Sounds more like a union captured by corporate interests of their employers, which is sadly a common thing these days.
Yea the “safety concerns” are basically completely unfounded and any industry professional knows it.
As an electrician in a non-union state, my impression of the IBEW is that they can be pretty conservative/reactionary at times. Still wish I could find work under the IBEW here though…
There are a lot of traitor unions.
agreed and so annoying. Its kinda par for the course for illinois. We legalized weed but no private plant growing is allowed. Only buy from corps.
Kinda like what’s in Colorados bill that passed easily
OMG clean energy getting pushback, how could this be possible, oh right, money.
This is so frustrating, more renewables that come online the better.
