r/worldnews - The UK government has said households that install solar panels in the future will be expected to give away unused clean power for free to energy firms earning multimillion-pound profits, provoking outrage from green campaigners.

They do this a lot in America as well, but it doesn't get the notice. Most power companies will only let you pay off your bill, they won't buy any more electricity off of you for you to make actual money, yet they will gladly siphon it off of you for free when you have excess.
