are there laws in the u.s. against an area crowdsourcing funds for creating a grid of solar panels / wind turbines / etc and providing the service that a nationalised electricity supplier should’ve already been providing? asking for a friend 🤔
i mean a few towns over they made it a law to put solar on every primary residence unless there was a financial exemption. they literally made a solar grid. they still get charged by the damn utility. line maintenance, etc. still has expenses. don’t ask me, i am not running the books.

If there aren’t, I’m sure they’re going to pass them, as soon as people start doing this in any number.
Electric cooperatives are a thing
Yep. Just like they did when people started making community fiber ISPs
probably. best to get everything organised & built asap while it’s still possible, so!
If you want to be on the grid, absolutely. If you can be fully independent… still probably.
Lookup Hydro-Québec.
