But how will the utility companies charge for solar or wind on your own property? Will they fine you for leaving the grid? I'm sure they'll have a certain number of customers they need to make maintaining the grid profitable/viable.

Will this start a snowballing effect of more and more people leaving the grid, resulting in the grids getting shut down and the remaining buildings being forced to become power-self-sufficient? Just a thought.
