Revenge against the government.

How can they tax utilities if you don’t use THEIR utilities.

“How can they tax utilities if you don’t use THEIR utilities.”

Easy, put a tamperproof meter on it and demand payment using the same threats we already have to deal with.

We live in the sticks and we have our own water well. There has been talk about putting meters on such wells and charging us for our own water.

Should this occur, I WILL sneak in a hidden well, and hope that I can afford the penalty if I get caught. They seem to be hell bent to make crooks out of us.

Also, the electric companies would be decreasing their own business. So they probably won't allow the things to be sold, but leased and metered.

In many places it is illegal to capture rain water that lands on your property. They will probably tax you on the capacity of your wind generator"
