I don't know why people who don't want to pay utilities don't just go off grid. If you cut your tie to the power grid they can't even charge you a fee at all. As long as you are connected you have to pay at least a fee whether you use the power, gas, etc or not. Everyone should make their own power.
It's not that easy to make your own power and have it maintained to a sufficient degree.
And regarding the offgrid...i think you hit the nail on the head: they can't bring themselves to cut ties with the grid. In actual fact the grid is built into the city and so they can't actually cut your utilities; they just capitalise on the fact they can put their meters into your home which they charge you for...but not the thing they propose to supply (which they don't supply, as it's all part of the grid).
Going off grid is not easy man, i know of one individual here by the name of Cahlen the Wizard, who upvoted on my video here. Check his channel out.
I managed to go off grid with scraps from skips and just 2 solar panels and a battery and inverter and controller... ye its minimilistic but was enough for me to keep the lights on my audio equipment and charge my power tools/torches/device..... maybe more people would use there own sources of energy if only they knew how..... shame theres not much on this subject anywhere.....

your right about having solar installed being a scam to keep people on the grid though! 100% really everyone should have it connected to a large enough battery set up to keep enough to last the non peak times
also the future will require us being a lot less wasteful with energy and finding other systems to replace large drains on energy, things like cookers and fridges for example.... as its quite easy to cook over a fire.... also many houses still have chimneys but the fireplace is just covered and ive seen a friend knock the thin plaster wall through and re tile the fire place and put it back in action.... if things carry on the way they are its good to know that we can heat our homes from fire wood retrieved when walking the dog or sourced from skips.... although some people say recycling from skips is stealing....
its ok i know you was only trying to share the video for the right reasons but seems that its suddenly resulted in me being blacklisted but dont feel bad it weren't your fault much love brother x x x
Its a shame as I almost always do credit the original content creator and leave links to their websites but that video was 1 of the few that i downloaded a while ago so when uploading i was being lazy and didnt find it again on YouTube to credit the guy but for some reason apparently im plagiarizing it as my own content..... hopefully i can get my channel fixed as i dont even have a wallet so its not like im making money but i leave the rewards on in hopes of my channel growing not for monetary gains.....
p.s. sorry comments are multiple as when i click comment it gets stuck onloading symbol and its always been like that 4 me dont know if your meant to wait or refresh and post again?
theres no appeal proccess and I dont have a wallet set up or a proper hive account so i was not making money of the videos and i tried to setup the discord account that the 3speak help desk sent me but that would not work either as i dont have a phone and its really the complete opposite of what i thought this platform was about..... if i spent that time uplo9ading to any other platform even with copyright strikes the videos would still stay on channel even youtube...... 3speak..... for shame.......
That's the thing, it's really easy. You hire an electrician to cut your power off at the street level and then call the company to remove their meter.
Everybody has a choice and 99.9% choose to buy the power from the power company because it's easy and it's just the way it is. They like the convenience of just flipping a switch and having all the power they want. Other people work to maintain the system, just like gas, sewer, water, etc. If I don't want to pay anymore, I just call and get them to disconnect their service. No more bills. It's not as if people are forced to use it. They want it.
Yes I follow Cahlan and he has the odd, and I emphasise "odd", video that is about living off grid but that's not a reality for me where I live as we are so far north. The winters are just too long and brutal to live like that, plus I don't want to. I like my home and safety.
Most of us here in England do not pay for any utilities as we have learnt how to do so.
But you are right, people want to be charged for things, they want to be forced to pay for things they think they do not own. Convenience kills man.
Nobody has to live like Cahlen, that's just on the very extreme end of the spectrum. One can live happy and safe, and free, in the comforts of one's home.

Not sure why the mods muted your excellent comment.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts.
Yes you're right, knowledge of off gridding energy sources are seriously lacking. Maybe you should do some vids on the matter?

Absolutely correct, thank you!
