In some municipalities it is currently illegal to not be hooked up to the grid.
There was a lady in Florida that was being sued by a town for collecting her own water and not using the town’s electricity.
This is how governments make use of renewables “feasible. “
I read that one, and there was a fine and they were going to take her house if she didn’t meet a deadline right?
The way around that is to connect to the local electric, but don’t turn on the heat etc...just pay minimum bill of $10 or so pr month. And if you have extreme heat or cold you can turn it up...just don’t use it. One or two lights and couple of plugs and small meter approved should do it..
