A FIT is an above-retail rate ("tariff") paid for renewable energy-generated electricity .. "Feed-in Tariffs Can Spur Disruptive Growth" No kidding !! Give me a long term, above market contract to sell electricity to a local utility and I'd be putting up PV and wind turbines too !! As a local utility ratepayer, I wouldn't be too keen to be subsidizing such a scheme for very long ..I don't see the point of renewables mandates without requiring the concurrent shuttering of an equal amount of fossil fueled ( coal, oil, gas ) generating capacity; otherwise the FIT is just a tax on all the ratepayers without any CO2 mitigation benefits .. Triff ..
