This seems to be straight from a dystopian movie or book I'm not sure it isn't a joke. Is the "get off my lawn" a thing of the past in US? What business have US gov, or anybody else for that matter, to do with what I do on my property?

Most states wont even allow you to collect your own rain water to drink it.

The article is trying so hard it's hard to tell what the actual issue is.

It is dangerous to backfeed the grid -- you may kill the line worker coming to fix a blown transformer or downed line.

In some places a grid connection is considered necessary by the building code. If so, you must use proper equipment.

When generating emergency power is outlawed, only outlaws will have emergency power.

I can't see how anyone would think this was a good idea. I expect respect for the law to plummet faster than you can say "Dad. Can you please give us non-rotten food?"
