Maybe the real irony is that KFC's original chicken recipe has been shown any number of times to be mostly salt and MSG.
Maybe the fist thing to do is require them to show that there is any originality to their claims.
re:Speanking of unfair water bills.... My friends dad lives about an hour north of houston, owns his own property, and has a well on it. The local govnt. there wants to out a meter on his well and start taxing him for usage. HIS well on HIS property, out in the country.
You don't understand Western water rights. Water rights, mineral rights and the land they're under may be owned by three or more different entities. Each with very specific legal rights. Your friends dad probably only has rights to pump a specific amount of water. Exceed that and you're taking someone elses water and that can get very expensive in dry areas. The meter is to track that.
re: How are the other customers subsidizing the solar panel users? If anything, it's the other way around.
Two ways. 1) solar panel installations are very heavily subsidized through tax incentives and outright rebates.
2) Solar users are not permanently off the grid. They produce power for themselves during daytime low demand periods and sell excess power into the system when it's least needed and are paid at prime rates for it that are much higher than the utilities own generating costs. Then they take power from the system in the evenings and mornings during peak periods. As a result, the utilities have to keep the same amount of generating capacity online as if they were there in case it rains or is too overcast or have any other problem. Those costs are passed on to all ratepayers.
