I'm very happy to have landed in the Gulch...

I am schooled in electrical engineering, I love radio repair, I also do Green Building design of homes with software. I like the idea of what John Galt did with the Strike, I believe we might be coming to a time in this world when we might have to use this idea and do as John Galt did. This pretty much is what I have been thinking for some time now, I have had this idea of sustainable green built communities for a long time. But you also have to realize that our government likes to overly regulate what we do, and they try to discourage solar and wind systems at the home owner lever across the United States, I am sure that you have heard that in some places it is illegal to live off the grid.

    Yes Awebb I have seen numerous stories about this in the past decade as well as people being fined for having solar or wind systems where zoning ordinances limit such things. In some places the electrical power companies want to maintain a monopoly on power generation and thus have either state or county level legislation enacted to deter people from living off the grid. The most common means of doing this is thru saying that the homes do not meet with safety standards or do not have access to clean water or hot water. It is always something like this that they use to condemn properties where people are living off the grid. You would think that they would be happy that people are energy conscience but this is not the case.
