Gunna have to back the other guy, people able to power themselves during outages means a more stable society, so of COURSE they want you to be able to exist (mostly) off-grid. Some states even have tax incentives for such, as well as 'green' incentives for green production (wind, solar).
Yeah, produce your own power, grow a fucking garden or algae tank, make yourself semi-self sustaining. The only reason not to is you simply don't have the space (i.e. me atm)
I think its the direction we're headed -> people with hydroponics and grow lights in a shitty warehouse, owned by a co-op, pay a small fee monthly and get fed crops from said warehouse. Your monthly fee is also a vote on what they produce, so you have a say in what veggies you can eat.
Meat is the problem, and we eternally keep coming up with meat replacements, but eh. Running a chicken coop and getting eggs/chicken doesn't sound that hard or expensive, if you feed them the junk grains not good for market, so if you have enough land to grow grain a coop is just a way to use B-grade grains.

Agreed, the other Anon has no idea what they're talking about. Zero concept of actual systems in place, and functional.
