This breakdown of how municipal ownership became the very thing blocking progress is kinda mind-blowing. The citys ratepayer advocate literally said they need a one-sentence amendment four years ago, yet here we are still burning expensive fossil fuels at night while solar gets wasted during the day. Dealing with utilites in my area made me realize how much bureaucratic inertia trumps common sense, even when everyone agrees theres a win-win solution sitting right there.
With the increase in post pandemic work from home, the time to switch to greater daytime energy use has never been more of a lay up. What a lost opportunity. Great article, LA Reported.
Well reported and thoughtful article. Angelenos know LA isn’t functioning well but it’s often difficult to understand why that is. LA Reported has done the city a service with this.
