We need to spread this info far and wide. It's not getting any play in the national press or on TV.
When the time comes, I'll bet FReepers can come up with ingenious ways to get around this. I hope FR is still on the air then so we can share.
Ever heard of the “Enhanced Drivers Licenses? There you go.
I want OFF the grid!
Sen. Reid: Feds Should Trump States in Building the Smart Grid
Ontario pushes big 'green' agenda ("smart grid."coming to America)
Part of this is the logical progression of technology.
It is good to help individuals and businesses identify where they use the most energy and resources as long as the individual or business gets to decide how to alter its usage.
Like firearms, these technologies are tools that can be used for good or evil. Opposing them simply because they can be misused is not logical.
Smart grid == Electricity rationing.
This graphic uses actual county by county results for the last election. It's pretty clear they are not controlling the rural areas like the cites.
It is more possible today than ever to live off-the-power-grid. I could do it, and probably would if my wife could accept it. She cannot, because of life style habits.
But I am not sure it is possible to live off the location grid.
You can however reduce your profile. I am already doing some of that.
My posts here however probably increase my profile. And I live in the Big Nothing in Texas.
I am sick of them having their nose in everything.
It’s the “as long as” phrase in your sentence that is being forcibly taken from people. Qualifiers do not compute in logic that allows for no variability.
What’s going on now is about control. Absolute control.
In this case, not only are they removing personal choice in this, they’re removing the choice of the states themselves.
I am sick of them having their nose in everything.
We all are.
It is not the technology that is the problem, but the motives of those who use it.
Secession is a choice. It is not immoral.
I know. I have friends who started working on this tech 12 years ago.
I thought at the time it could be misused.
Even if you burn fire wood.....
This is central control BS to deal with the FACT that wind and solar power cannot come even close to replacing the coal and nuclear plants the libs want to shut down.
They HAVE to control the demand to make their expensive, fragile, and anemic renewable power system work. This is a HUGE step backwards in reliability and lifestyle all for the fake global warming scare.
Right. The problem is government intervention into everything. If the tech was just used to help consumers make better choices, that would be fine. Government is force and the men who control it use that force to do evil unto other men.
Mine stays in its little envelope - I’ll put tin-foil around it if I have to...
I’ll tell you what if I were in the country I’d advoid their “smart grid” and RFID for farm animals (heck the US government is going to be broke in acouple months, anyway..let them speand years gathing court document, case files, ect: IT IS SERIOUSLY TIME TO START THINKING: CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE, FOLKS!
