Well, there is almost always another side to the story.  I found that out today

when renewing my car’s registration.   Apparently, I am now being “punished” for buying an electric vehicle here in Georgia.  They figured out I hadn’t been paying my fair share of the highway taxes that would normally be buried in my gasoline purchases.

You can read all about it here just as I have.

So, why is it such a public outrage when the electric utilities try to make the same adjustments with solar?

Just like solar, I am now saving very little due to this $200 fee coupled to the low cost of gasoline.  But, I really don’t care.  I like the car.  It’s fun to drive.  And I like that it is electric.
