if we install a massive infrastructure of point of use renewables, we will no longer be enslaved to these dirtbags who are constantly devising ways to rip us off.  no ecosystem losses, no massive, expensive new "infrastructure," no supply and pricing manipulations, just FREEDOM (and an income stream) for all of us who do the right thing by conserving and generating clean, healthy, grid-decongesting power on our own properties.

utilities can serve as a load-balancing service industry, and maybe a centralized storage facility of some sort, but they should no longer be allowed to build their generation/transmission monopolies on our dime and on our land, while holding us all captive to their mercenary motivations.  this whole thing has been heading in the wrong direction, and i'm over it.

panel here, panel now!

the greenest energy is that which you needn't ever produce.
