The sales tax will discourage me from consuming as much as I had planned on.

That's the idea.

Congratulations on being self-sufficient.

Where is your farm, oil field and refinery?

During the energy crisis in California, interest in solar power exploded. Companies doing home installation were booked solid 6 months in advance. Dairy farmers, who require a reliable supply electricity to stay in business, began generating their own from methane gas produced from cow dung.

It would be interesting to see if the 30% tax on utilities is high enough to stimulate another round of consumers abandoning the grid.

As an aside, an electric car is being produced and sold that can be recharged through a rooftop solar unit.
