You don't have to deal with the utility. You can spend the money (a LOT of money) to go total solar or have your own generator. Every life choice is a compromise between what you want and what it costs.

OR, you can go off the grid entirely. If you're are really worried about it go off the grid like the (real) Amish.

[Haiku Guy]

Comply or be cut off.

Being cut off is always an option.

It is not really a viable option, of course. The utility has the whip hand, and they intend to apply the whip until they get what they want.
