so because you have some solar panels the govt. can't tell you how to live, where to live, or when to live?

If electricity ever becomes "ridiculously expensive" its perhaps time to look for a new job.

Ah, I see. I thought you were talking about the "grid" as in the huge amounts of data that governments, financial institutions, schools, jobs, etc., collect on all of us. That grid.

There's a name for going off that too. I guess it's something different though.

I think no.

whoa calm down there buddy. wanting to use solar power to power your house isnt that big of a deal its actually pretty practical and is becoming more and more common as people are seeing the current system is not sustainable at all and within the next few decades will collapse. use some common sense and stop trying to put up this wall between you and ideas you cant understand. believe it or not, oil IS going to run out dillhole.

When the entire ecological balance of the earth can be destroyed, or hopelessly wounded, with a single act of war, there is no "off the grid."
