Want to understand CalRecycle's chemical recycling rules? You'll need to pay
CalRecycle's latest attempt at rules to implement the state's plastic waste law is under fire — including for its decision to use ISO guidelines on hazardous waste that cost nearly $200 to access.

Wish ca net metering cuts had nothing to do with it, but good news for those ready to invest. Best thing we've done getting solar and storage years ago. No blackouts, stay off grid a lot in spring and early summer especially, use battery during peak hours. Energy sage provides lots of good info.
