And things that are regulated are regulated.

Regulated = legal. This is neither.

I've already explained my point in great detail, several times. The utility is in the right to be concerned about worker safety when people are legally allowed to connect unpermitted potentially unsafe equipment to the grid.

    What do you think "certifications" are?

    What does that have to do with this conversation? We've already established that no one is ensuring the connected equipment has any sort of certification.

    Where did anyone establish that?

    Maybe you should reread the thread then because others have explained to you that they're certified.

    Are you just trying to get your comment count or something? Such a bizarre way to try to make a point. Not to mention, you're being a major asshole to people for no reason.

    I regret even engaging in the first place.

    Maybe you should reread the comment you just replied to where I explained that no one is verifying that the installed equipment is certified.

    Are you just trying to get your comment count or something

    ...why would anyone do that? I'm just trying to have a rational conversation.

    Not to mention, you're being a major asshole to people for no reason.

    It's not for no reason, it's because people are being assholes to me first, seemingly out of frustration for not being able to grasp simple concepts.
