Sure, for a homeowner it doesn’t make sense. But what about at grid scale when there isn’t enough demand for that electricity?
What opportunity cost is there to NOT do it when the power would otherwise be wasted or generation capacity reduced? If anything, I’d say the opportunity cost is of not doing this with over generation on the grid/plant



I wouldn’t, you don’t see a massive outcry from the populace at large about it, it’s only ever a few here or there. You do see plenty of their citizenry cheering it on, however, so your disbelief in the poling doesn’t have much merit to it.
