Data centers are being allowed to offset their use with solar panels, like the solar panel farm being planned for Stockton, Alabama. But what’s the process for family dwellings that want to use solar power? Reporter Maggie Kates jumps into why it’s a little more complicated for Alabama consumers to switch completely to solar to power their homes. #alabama #datacenters #alabamapower #solar #energy

When you ask Alabama Power ( Southern Company) why they don’t offer the same rate to Alabama as they do in Georgia… they always have a “Twinkle” in their eye…

So don't install it ON your phone and don't tie into the grid ...

Of course @alabamapower wants only what helps them, and not what helps the state.

And when you feed excess electricity back to Alabama Power, I believe they don’t pay you. Option is to be totally off grid.

Okay, real question. We don't get charged for not using their service. So what's stopping us from just...not telling them we're using solar?
