Profits are what people forget. I live in MN, everyone has excel energy. They made a net profit of 1.85 billion in 2022, that's NET profits. They paid out $3.85 per share.

They've spent an insane amount of money on solar panels - that's all out of that number, those are net profits.

What happens when they have 50% or maybe near that 100% of power coming from renewable power?? They've made a lot of money off of us while we also paid for the costs to attain the renewable system, once it's in place - why should they get my money anymore?

Why are people profiting off of a necessity to life anyways?
