Hawaiian Electric proposes increase solar fees

What greed? They have to earn enough to make it worth their while, just like any other business on earth. Given what I posted above, where is the income supposed to come from when they need to keep turbines rolling all day producing minimal power, with no revenue coming in, just so customers who have not chosen to provide for themselves otherwise but who nevertheless feel free to call them crooks aren't inconvenienced when the sun goes behind a cloud? What would make sense would be to provide service at an interruptable rate, perhaps with dramatic time of use charges, to make it so they don't have to have so much rolling reserve.
