I heard in Germany, people with windmills can sell back the extra power to the utilities at 7x the normal selling rate, a good incentive.
Here, the utilities won't even pay standard market rates for sell-back.

Just think, localized communities could begin becoming mini power-brokers and the "socialist" centralized distribution system of electricity, like oil, would have competition.

Competition is good in capitalism. No? And isn't the role of government to ensure fair competition?
