Now society accepts people to buy their own solar panels placed upon their own rooves, use their own electricity and sell the rest. Once their value has been paid for, the rest is for free!!
There is no difference between my idea and some person doing this. We have just manipulated the reserve rate that controls inflation to help pay for it all. Instead of just being a single person involved, it is a whole conglomerate of people. The sun is free, the wind is free so why can't the energy off them be for free. Both are sustainable to the true sense of the word. As having an orange tree in your own backyard, should you be charged for each orange you pick?
Obviously you can't take more than what you've paid, originally in the green tax, for in amount of electricity per month. It's exactly the same as having an orange tree. You can't pick more than is grown so you have to go to the shop and buy some more if you need them. Hopefully the scheme could cover nearly all but the heaviest users of electricity. Those users will have to purchase their extra electricity from the excess produced for the coffers that pay for the maintenance and upgrades of the system.
Unless you saturate your country there will be a full market economy of purchasers of the excess electricity, and people using too much and paying for it. Coal will still be around for a fair while, but because of the method for paying for the renewables, the excess electricity would be competitive to coal, even for large industries.
