You missed my point. What you assumed the article said was completely off base.

No, I want energy independence period. Not just from the local utility, I want independence from a co-op as well.

Then what you're asking for is a more fractured human society. This kind of independence from others is an illusion and is not compatible with how humans have evolved.

No, I'm saying I want energy independence. I don't want to be dependent on the vagaries of service providers, or politicians that decide one day that renewables are great, and then the next day fuck it all drill baby drill, or a utility--or government--that refuses to invest the necessary capital into infrastructure to maintain capability. I'll pay my taxes so that shit can get done IF that ends up being the will of the people, but I don't see the point of being dependent on a system that I both need and have no control over.
