Net metering is most certainly bullshit, as it selfishly and unfairly shifts the costs of both the grid's distribution infrastructure as well as the cost of meeting peak demands onto all other ratepayers.

Go read about the duck curve and get back to us. https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/confronting-duck-curve-...
Although this is a biased survey from an interested party, this kind of mandate is a fairly standard and well established idea with lots of benefits.
It just makes sense to do thing like add solar, and prep for EV charging when building new homes as it's much easier than refits. Other good ideas are banning gas connections, mandating ground loops for heat pumps and minimum insulation levels.
