Spanish government plans to tax sunlight


THE Spanish government is planning to tax households that produce their own energy through solar power and store some of it using batteries.
The Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism has prepared a draught decree that would see a new fee designed to discourage the use of solar charged batteries or other storage systems by people who produce their own electricity, Spanish daily El Pais said.
Users of solar or photovoltaic panel systems that charge batteries will be targeted by the new rules. These self-reliant consumers will not be able to use products such as the Powerwall battery recently launched by car manufacturer and energy-storage company Tesla.
Moreover, they could find themselves being penalised additionally for the storage systems that come included with the latest generation of solar panels.

The sun creates global warming, so it actually makes sense that people be taxed, in order to discourage the use of it.

In Spain they were producing energy with solar power at night.

The loss of tax revenue from a truly "green" economy can not be absorbed or tolerated by TPTB. They cannot afford the loss of tax revenue on cigarettes, gasoline, electricity, water, etc. The entire goal of the "green scam" is not reduction in emissions or "sustainable" energy sources, it is the fleecing of citizens under the guise of it.

The answer: Of course it is. The unholy alliance of corporate and government interests have created regulatory capture even in Spain just like the US.

And to be clear "TPTB" are simply the people who profit from the current economic system.
