metering

Net metering means you sell back to the grid for the same price as you buy from the grid.

I understand Bernoulli's principle, and I also understand that a carburetor is lousy at part throttle metering.

What are the chances some sort of clever metering will be built in to new, higher end houses?

Most good paywalls that support metering will now use some kind of fingerprinting at a minimum.

Net metering takes this concept further by leveraging the existing grid to enhance distributed resources.

I'm guessing that a metering or coin operated overnight charger wouldn't cost that much more than a normal charger.

That statement is true as long as net metering is in effect.

I'm confused about why 'net metering exists' is a good argument against these batteries.

I read in another comment that ramp metering speeds up traffic on the freeway...

Any form of net-metering makes batteries a hopeless situation.

The biggest subsidy for solar is net metering.

Geospatial - asset management, smart metering, integration, analyses.

Assuming you are referring to I-5 through CA, a Google search for "california ramp metering study" brings up a lot of studies and documentations sponsored by Caltrans.

Perhaps mandatory metering of electric wells combined with water usage limits ("this is how much water we've detected to exist underneath your property; we'll charge if you use more than that, and credit if you use less than that") would be a good solution/compromise?

Net-Metering from those who can afford rooftop panels can then store the energy centrally, and then offset the costs for the non-solar users in the rest of the neighborhood.
