Hysterical article is hysterical?

The actual laws are more reasonable:

"Renewable generator systems connected to the grid without batteries are not a standby power source during an FPL outage. The system must shut down when FPL's grid shuts down in order to prevent dangerous back feed on FPL's grid. This is required to protect FPL employees who may be working on the grid."

Note the "without batteries" exclusion a similar exclusion applies to the cutoff switch when the grid is down, to protect line workers.
