Answer to Question 1

Lack of net metering is certainly a problem. In many localities, the energy from
individual customers must be supplied to utilities for nothing. This reduces the incentive for
people to use renewablesthey still can use the energy and reduce their paying utility bills,
but they get no monetary reward for sending excess energy to the grid.
Clearly, if people had an economic incentive from the utilities to produce energy for the grid,
it is likely that more people would be interested in doing that.

Answer to Question 2

This is the case, as one can see by comparing the numbers in Table 8.7.
