I wonder what they’ll do next with EVs becoming more popular? Outlaw home charging?

Home charging is an opportunity.

Mandate a monthly routing check by a certified specialist. You can sign up for a yearly commitment, 12 visits for just $899. A no brainer when a visit costs minimum $149.

Failure to comply can result in a fine up to $3,000 and up to 6 months in prison.

The IAEA will be up your ass right now just for running a small nuclear reactor in your basement. WTF.

Can't make your own power, it's illegal to grow your own tobacco, what's next? Sewage bills?!
