exposing the hypocrisy of gov pumping of green energy/globalist warming: the fraud of omaha strikes again

SolarCity Corp. plans to eliminate more than 550 jobs in Nevada, most of its field workers in the state, after regulators approved new utility fees for solar rooftops.
The biggest U.S. rooftop solar provider will shift some employees to “business-friendly” states that don’t impose similar charges, San Mateo, California-based SolarCity said in a statement Wednesday.
This is the first significant cut in staffing for SolarCity, which has grown rapidly in recent years. Surging demand for rooftop power has generated friction between companies that install and operate the systems. and traditional utilities that see them as a threat to revenue.
Besides the job cuts, SolarCity closed a training facility near Las Vegas on Tuesday because “there won’t be any jobs to train people for,” Chandler Sherman, a spokeswoman, said in an interview.
SolarCity announced plans to stop sales and installation in Nevada on Dec. 23, a day after regulators approved changes to the state’s net-metering program, one of the main incentives for rooftop solar power.
NV Energy, a unit of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. that owns Nevada’s two biggest utilities, had sought the changes to recoup money that it says solar customers aren’t paying for grid operations.
