Solar panels threaten power companies


Clark Gellings of the Electric Power Research Institute, an arm of the power industry, called rooftop solar panels a “disruption.”  Here’s Mr. Gellings’s full quote from a NYT business section article by Diane Cardwell:  “We did not get in front of this disruption.  It may be too late.”  The power companies say they are worried about maintaining the nation’s electrical grid.

Just in case you are curious, solar rooftop panels account for less than one-fourth of one percent of the nation’s power generation.
