you could not ride a better- grid. you could not ride a better droo— grid.s story had onlyjust begun. on the first lap, hamilton took the lead, then as verstappen tried to overtake, hamilton left the track, cut a corner, kept the lead. not for last time, a third character would enter the plot. this is michael massi, the race director — the referee, if you like. he decided that despite leaving the track hamilton could keep the lead. former f1 team owner eddiejordan was unimpressed. for me, massi should have asked to get back to the place, because lewis ran off and took the fair advantage. but hamilton was not ordered to let verstappen through. here's the official f1 twitter account telling us... the race was 58 laps and hamilton's lead was now over ten seconds. enormous in f1 terms. and as the race approched the sharp end, we heard from red bull team principal christian horner. he told sky sports... with five laps ago, that look arrived. nicholas latifi is a canadian driver with the williams team. he crashed. there was debris all over the track. the cars didn

an average of $240 more per year to make up for what solar customers are not paying to maintain the gridetering program is outdated, it is 25 years old. the world has changed. solar panels are 70% cheaper now. the program has not been updated to reflect that. >> reporter: in walnut creek, when stanton says it comes down to common sense. >> it makes sense to encourage as much as possible of solar rooftop generation locally to avoid having to use a long range read to transport energy over distances. >> reporter: the proposed reduce incentives will most likely only be for new customers. but still, she says. >> it away it is a bad deal for california. we need more rooftop solar. is that if it only affects new people. if it affects current rooftop solar, it is almost like we are egging on a deal he made. >>> today's storm dumped much- needed rain across the region. all the water helping with reservoir letters. rain help increase levels 1% to nearly 60% capacity in the east bay. is the official say about 15 inches of rain the season. average december is about 12. many folks in the east bay are

so we need to have this type of equipment separating their system and grid they own and the grid they own from the customer. we have argued that we're not built out as a city and other cities and a publicly owned utility and separate jurisdictions. separate serviceer istories. we are immeshed. but we have a bank certified by pg&e right next to a public health center served by us. and having that kind of equipment that you use to separate a system the size of smud from pg&e which would be appropriate and really isn't appropriate for our situation. and frankly, we proved that it is operated safely and reliably for many years by having it built out the way it is. from our perspective it is an artificial requirement and is not needed for safety or reliability. and that is what we're arguing at the federal regulatory commission in our disputes with pg&e. and i have a follow-up question to my help which is i come from a business background where acquisitions are made. so when you acquire something you are with the hardware and a bunch of bodies and the technical know how in the form of peop

so the grid is wrecked, and there's maybe 40% to 50% of the water that gets put in the grid that is losandleak - today, it's don lauro's turn. living on the outskirts of this megacity, he and his family have been collecting rainwater with what they have: an old washing machine and a tarp. that's because they have access to the grid for only two short hours a day. so right now, we're going to harvest the water that fell on the roof of the house. and then, what we're doing is connecting tubes that are channelling the water from the roof and bring them here towards this ter tank that we just put in. so, first, the water is going to come into this blue thing here. this is a first-flush system. every time it rains, in the first maybe 10 minutes of the rain event, the water is going to be dissolving smog, and it's also going to be washing dust and things off of the roof. after that has sealed, water is going to start coming into the tank. and that water, they're still going to use it. they're going to use it for toilets, they're going to use it for watering their plants, but they're going to use

during the day when panels produce more power than you can use, the extra is sent to the grid. utility buys the power and your electric meter spins backwards. at night when there is no sun you buy power back, spinning the meter forward. under a proposed new system utilities including pg&e would cut the rate they currently pay customers for that excess power from about 25-cents a hour to as little as six cents. they also want a monthly grid access fee. >> it's important to put sol ar equality first. >> the director of tord utility rate, a consumer group that supports reducing incentives. >> it comes two different places. from large scale operations that is three cents per hour, and the rooftop we are paying 25-cents. that's a huge difference. three cents verses 25. the solar rooftop owners being overpaid. >> it's lousy math to trump up the costs. >> the california solar is it storage association said cheaper energy costs a lot more when you factor in transmission all the way from the desert to the cities. >> rates have gone up a lot in recent years and the reason why is because

customers also will have to pay a monthly grid connection fee.and $50 a month. utility companies are applauding the move with pg&e saying it is a step in the right direction. they argue solar customers haven't been paying enough nor the grid solar groups though are not happy. seia said it will tarnish the state's clean energy legacy. important again to note it is only a proposed decision there's now a comment period and we'll get the final decision no sooner than the end of january but this isn't the only headwind for solar. wood mckinsey has slashed the 2022 growth forecast for the u.s. solar industry. they said the market will grow 25% less than prior estimates. this is thanks to supply chain problems, rising costs and policy uncertainty >> so $30 to $40 to hook up to the grid >> $40 to $50. >> to hook to the grid, completely changes the calculus when you are trying to figure out to go solar which raises the issue, why are these households paying for their ability to go solar when the utilities could go solar and save us the trouble. >> lot of
