Off course.
If you life off the grid, you pay less taxes.
Daddy government wants its piece of cake.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

They condemned his residence and his land because he doesn’t have UTILITIES? If anything his place is safer BECAUSE he doesn’t have utilities. And let’s not even talk about the crap the utilities will give him with the solar panels. The power companies find ever loophole they can to prevent use of the grid for local power production applications.

This just makes no sense at all. Definitely corruption.

Power companies? It’s the f~~~ing government, the politics here in Spain get lot of money after they retire working as “adviser” for power distribution companies.

The taxes and fees on mandatory utility hookups are one thing. That is a legitimate point.

My comment was oriented around loopholes that power companies use when customers generate their own power. There are basically two approaches to going off the grid with respect to electricity: 1) Charging batteries and using the stored energy at night, 2) Producing electricity into the local grid. I’m assuming that the owner of this property is charging batteries to avoid the utility hookups and fees that come with it. What I’m getting at though, is that utility companies don’t pay the same rate for power provided into the grid as they charge for power pulled from the grid. Also, depending upon the amount of energy produced, there will be costs associated with equipment.

This guy is doing it the right way.

Power companies fight to keep you on the monthly payment plan

Municipal water companies want to have it be illegal to collect rain water

Auto manufacturers and big oil will do anything to avoid new technology taking a slice of what they think is their pie

The last thing you will hear about health care is that billion dollar profits for the undeserving few are the problem; while those with free care for life pass judgement on your health and let you pay for theirs

All backed by government corruption at it’s peak performance. It is long past time to drain that motherf~~~in’ swamp and pave over those mired in the bottom

Im saving up to go of the grid as soon as posible.

Solar panel.
Wel water.
My vegetables and animals.
A f~~~ing wall around my property.
And my 1976 🚙 jeep up in a forgotten mountain.
Amén
Need close to 250000€ for that.
Then I’m retiring

What a crock of s~~~.

What I would do is (I know this sux but) have the utilities run/installed to the land then not use them. There cannot be any laws that say you have to connect to them or that your are required to pay for services

I’d give the authorities a choice: back off or the angels will weep for them.

I’d rather die on my feet, than live on my knees, and most authorities have people/things they care about and can’t protect 24/7.

From my perspective, there is no difference between combatting communists in Vietnam, ISIS in Syria or fascists in your own backyard.

Evil is evil, abuse of power is abuse of power, and tyranny is tyranny.

If anything, things that happen in your own backyard matter more.

People should start banding together to form self-defense militias against corrupt authority and go “Bundy Ranch mode” when it gets out of hand.

Goethe said that “there is no man more hopelessly enslaved than one who falsely believe he is free”.

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

White-man papers mean nothing to Chief MG-Tower.

I make’um white-man go away with copies and copies of white-man papers like these. White-man no like’em his own papers and fade away.

Much life in MG-Tower clearing, many birds of the morning fill the air, many animals walk on the land, unlike the dark and evil forest that surrounds this sanctuary of many lives…

Stupidest thing I’ve heard so far today.. but it’s early yet still plenty of contenders i’m sure.
