I won’t give it up. Not until I know for a fact that there will never be a power outage. The grid is getting worse and we are supposed to become more dependent on it? Hell no.

You can install your own panels and turbines and storage, or do it together with some neighbors or the city.
Independence is possible with renewables, but not so with fossil fuels.

My goal is not independence my goal is being able to deal with likely situations. Also you seem to think I am some guy with a house and land I own in the middle of nowhere. Did you ask if I rent? Did you ask if my house is a double?

If you are not in charge, replace the “You” with whoever is in charge. When you said “I won’t give it up” it seemed you had some control.

You in this case is my scumbag landlord who inherited 17 houses and hasn’t worked a day in his life.
Yes I do have a degree of control. I could replace my stove which would mean that next blackout I won’t be able to cook. Control isn’t binary I have a degree of it. On top of that I doubt my scumbag landlord would be able to get solar anyhow. It isn’t like some zoning board Karen wouldn’t be able to reject it because it doesn’t fit neighborhood character
