GUEST COLUMN: Ratepayers will subsidize solar power

In this mention

Georgia Public Service Commissioner Stan Wise argues in this op-ed against a PSC mandate requiring Georgia Power to bring 525 megawatts of solar online by 2016, contending the decision is economically imprudent and will raise ratepayer costs. Wise criticizes the mandate as social engineering and notes that consumer advocacy groups including SACE have remained silent on the issue. The column draws comparisons to Germany's renewable energy policies and argues that solar cannot compete without subsidies.
