Here is why you are not allowed to leave the power grid




To start with, this is part of a two part story that covers this topic more. This is about the national power grid, which is not something the people here should be so reliant on. The problem is, that the government does not want people removing themselves from the problem.

Taxes are necessary for many reasons, but they are also one of the two reasons that the government works so hard to control every aspect of people's lives. People have attempted to leave the power grid and are told that they are unable to for legal reasons. These laws are based on a building code, which states people need to be connected to a power source. Local and state governments use this to force people to stay connected to utility companies that are increasingly becoming overextended.

Building Code

Now, I try not to overly inject my opinion when facts matter far more, but I have read through the building code that is being used and consider it horse excrement. It literally is a document that gives a path for government agencies to increasingly control people's lives. I have worked construction type jobs where I had to do electrical, plumbing, and carpentry. I know codes and know they are necessary. The ones being used for keeping people on the electric grid are not worth publishing even a link to. If you want to read them, they are online.

Utility Taxes

There is a concerted effort online and in government documents to show less information on how much local and state governments collect via utility taxes, but it is in the billions. In 2015, the total was $26.3 billion, while in 2016, it was $26.1 billion. Another source of information shows that the total in 2021 was $27.31 billion. The study this came from was based only on what came from businesses. From 2019 to 2020, the city of Tampa, FL made $34 million in electric utility taxes.

Tax Changes

To consider what would happen if people started getting off the grid, they should look at what happened as people left cable. When this happened, some states instituted a streaming tax, while Chicago created an amusement tax to make up the revenue. While it is currently difficult to figure out how government entities are going to replace the revenue from people leaving the grid, but one can imagine it will be creative and more of a burden.

People may not be aware of how much they give the government through utilities, which is why people are not being allowed to disconnect. The power grid has become more of a burden than the government wants to admit, yet they argue without coming up with valid solutions. 

Governmental agencies stop the building of utility size power generation plants that are not green, but all this does is make electricity more expensive and harm the environment just as much as any other source.

The next article will be about why the power grid needs to become the past, not a relic that people are needing to pay more and more to keep.

House GOP slashes millions in support of criminal aliens and abortions

The House GOP fought to remove questionable pet project funding from the federal budget, which included help for abortions and criminal aliens. This will save millions of taxpayers, which will also prevent voter backlash to members of the GOP who have done nothing when they have done nothing regarding their campaign promises. Some of the places that lost funding will cause an uproar within the LGBT community and their supporters, but it will also cut a bloated budget that is dragging us further into debt. Abortion Locations Congressman Robert Aderholt (Al-4) who is the Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, listed several of the projects that lost funding. Women and Infants Hospital in Rhode Island was to get $1.8 million and is known for late term abortions. Dartmouth Hitchcock, Nashua in New Hampshire was to receive $650,000 and is also known for late term abortions. These being removed cleared away a lot of the politica...

One of the ways modern healthcare is shaped by insurance

  People need to be aware of the ways that insurance companies shape how doctors treat people, as it affects their personal care. There are multiple terms and groups that people have never heard of that become important to medical practices and getting paid. Some of the ways that insurance makes demands are common sense, which should make people wonder why doctors are doing certain things. At the same time, the demands raise administrative costs for doctors, while shaping how they can be paid. Quick Disclaimer This article is for education purposes, not as a complaint against any of the people mentioned. It is so that people will know about an important part of their lives. Much of the way that this information was gathered for understanding was by getting to talk with someone who has been an insurance quality professional for almost two decades. Some of it can be disturbing to some, while other parts are just a way for people to gain knowledge.  NCQA and HEDIS One of the grou...

This will most likely not happen this election cycle, but there will be some, such as Mark Rice, in this article. He is running for the Illinois 8 th Congressional District , which encompasses part of Chicago and the surrounding areas. The area has been represented by Democrat Raja Krishnamoorthi since 2017, who has some strong stances, but is the typical Chicago and National Democrat. Mark Rice Here, from his campaign website , is a short biography on Rice. Here is a man that can understand the energy issues plaguing this nation. “Mark was a fourth generation Texan and attended college in Austin where he graduated in 1985 from the University of Texas.
