This is a fantastic initiative. Hopefully all parties subscribe to this.

It's win win for all involved. Only power companies would be against this.

As I've said in other comments, the best way to get around the power companies is to offset your own power usage, and put little to no power into the grid itself.

That way you're essentially paying yourself full purchase price for the power you make, and the power co doesn't get their cut at all.
