The Off-Grid Laws of Every State in America

Want to start living off-grid? It’s not as simple as buying land and building a home or parking an RV. While off-grid living isn’t illegal in any of the 50 states in America, there are numerous laws which might restrict whether you can truly live off-grid.

I spent a lot of time researching the off-grid laws of every state in America. Please understand this is a work in process! If you have any information to share, please do so in the comments section below so we can keep the article updated.

Note: The laws about going off-grid are usually determined by local government and not the state, and they vary drastically. Thus it is impossible to create a comprehensive resource of all the off-grid laws in each state and area. I’ve done my best to list the state laws regarding off-grid electric, water, and waste.

Alabama Off Grid Laws

Electric

It appears that disconnecting from the power grid in Alabama is illegal. On top of this, Alabama power charges a high (over $5 per kilowatt) fee for using solar! They do offer net metering to sell back excess solar. However, there are no state-mandated policies so the price is negotiated with the power company. This makes Alabama one of the worst states in the USA for off-grid solar. (13)

Water

It is legal to harvest rainwater in Alabama and is considered a property right. However, it is not clear whether you can build a permanent residence in the state without being connected to the municipal water.
Waste

Pit toilets and portable toilets may be allowed in certain rural areas. Permits are required and specific rules must be followed. Compost toilets aren’t specifically addressed. You can see the rules here.

In a nutshell, the law says that composting, incinerating toilets, and holding tanks can only be used if an approved graywater disposal method is also provided. With pit privies, you are required to have a contract with a certified pumper.

Alaska Off Grid Laws

Electric

Alaska has very progressive microgrid laws. These laws make it possible for an individual to qualify as a “utility provider” and completely disconnect from the main electric grid. However, off-grid solar may not be feasible in many areas of the state where there isn’t much daylight during winter. In fact, the majority of microgrids in Alaska run off of diesel. Alaska does have a state net metering policy for solar but does not offer any state incentives for installing solar. (14, 15)

Water

Rainwater harvesting in Alaska is allowed. However, there are many rules regarding the use of groundwater such as from streams or lakes.
Waste

Alaska law specifically addresses outhouses but does not mention compost toilets. Outhouses are allowed in many areas, though strict rules apply. See the law here.

Arizona Off Grid Laws

Electric

Arizona is one of the worst states for off-grid solar. The laws are written in a way that makes it illegal for a home not to be connected to the electric grid. On top of that, Arizona charges a “solar tax” to people with grid-connected solar. (16,17)
Water

Rainwater harvesting in Arizona is legal.
Waste

Composting toilets are legal in Arizona. A permit is required. You can see the law here.

Arkansas Off Grid Laws

Electric

Report: FBI again cancels congressional briefing on Rep. Eric Swalwell and his Chinese spy friend

Sean Davis of The Federalist is reporting that the FBI on Monday canceled at the last second its briefing of congressional leadership on Rep. Eric Swalwell and his relationship with a Chinese spy.

What’s up, FBI?

How many elected officials don’t even want to know?

LGBT Activist Calls For ALL Children to Be Put on Puberty Blockers

Ludicrously argues that natural puberty is wrong because kids can’t consent

An LGBT activist has called for ALL children to be put on puberty blockers until a decision is made as to what gender they are going to be.

Yes, really.

Zachary Antolak began as a gay man but now identifies as a lesbian woman named Zinnia Jones and is in a polyamorous relationship with another lesbian named Heather and a ‘trans woman’ named Penny.

What better example of obvious mental stability to decide which chemicals to bombard your children with?

“If children can’t consent to puberty blockers which pause any permanent changes even with the relevant professional evaluation, how can they consent to the permanent and irreversible changes that come with their own puberty with no professional evaluation whatsoever?” tweeted Jones.

“An inability to offer informed consent or understand the long-term consequences is actually an argument for putting every single cis and trans person on puberty blockers until they acquire that ability,” he added.

Presumably, the people deciding upon which gender the child will be after a period of God knows how long being poisoned with drugs that block their natural development will be Jones and his ilk.

“It isn’t easy to believe that the federal government will one day mandate puberty blockers for all children until their teachers and other liberal social engineers have had time to convince them they want to be the opposite sex,” writes Dave Blount. “But then, a few years ago, no one would have believed that the federal government would force schools to allow boys who say they are girls to use private facilities intended for people who really are girls. Now it is mainstream Democrat...

Rep. Omar: We’re Telling Biden to Use ‘Executive Power’ to ‘Create an Economy that Works for Everyone’

During an interview today on MSNBC’s program “Live With Ayman Mohyeldin” Rep. Ilhan Omar basically told the host that progressives like herself were telling Joe Biden to use executive power to reshape the economy so it “works for everyone.”

Omar and her friends also want Biden to use executive power to declare an emergency over “climate change” and to reshape the country accordingly.

Watch:

If President Trump had tried to use executive power in the way Omar is asking Biden to do the Democrats and the media would have gone insane with rage and called him a nazi dictator or something similar.

But with Biden they’re encouraging it. Sad, disgusting and entirely predictable.

Read the whole thing, it’s important to know how these people think:

This Vaccine Is New And Nothing Like This Has Ever Happened To The Human Race Before. You Will Not Be Human, You Will Be A Synth, A Synthetic Product.

The very genetic code of the planet’s biosphere, including humans, is being overwritten; The ultimate goal being the ability to manipulate, patent and program at will the biological processes of all life.

“Within 50 years we could have more life forms invented in a lab than we have ever identified in nature.” – Fidelity Investments

Tom Knight, professor at MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Lab, said in 2007 that “The genetic code is 3.6 billion years old. It’s time for a rewrite.”

Now, Knight’s synthetic biology company Ginkgo Bioworks is using its synthetic biology tech to develop COVID vaccines.

Bill Gates has also poured millions into synthetic biology. As reported by Newsweek in 2007, “UC Berkeley received $42 million from Bill Gates to create living microfactories…”

Geneticist Craig Venter is a pioneer in the field of synthetic biology. In 2010 the media hailed his team’s success in creating “the first self-replicating species we’ve had on the planet whose parent is a computer.”

Google founder Larry Page met with Craig Venter in California at the Edge billionaires meeting in 2010. Also present were representatives from the State department, Bill Gates, Anne Wojcicki, Bill Joy and dozens of other tech company CEO’s and scientists.

The Edge billionaire meetings have discussed the future of genetic engineering, biocomputation and re-designing humanity in a Transhumanist era. Physicist Freeman Dyson described the individuals leading this group as having god-like power to create entirely new species on earth in a “New Age of Wonder”. He describes them as:

“…a new generation of artists, writing genomes as fluently as Blake and Byron wrote verses, might create an abundance of new flowers and fruit and trees and birds to enrich the ecology of our planet.”

Patenting life

Synthetic engineering of plant and animal life has enabled corporations to patent and profit from genetic code.

Because synthetic biology is a different technique than older genetic engineering tech, the supreme court ruled in 2013 that synthetic DNA can be patented because it is not a “product of nature”. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote,

“…the lab technician unquestionably creates something new when cDNA is made. cDNA retains the naturally occurring exons of DNA, but it is distinct from the DNA from which it was derived. As a result, cDNA is not a “product of nature” and is patent eligible under §101, except insofar as very short series of DNA may have no intervening introns to remove when creating cDNA”.

“Food 2.0”

Synthetic biology ingredients have already quietly entered our food supply. Nature reported in 2014, “This year [Evolva] will release a product that has been created by genetically modified yeast that converts sugars to vanillin. It will be the first major synthetic-biology food additive to hit supermarkets.”

Since then, other synthetic foods have been developed. Synthetic biology has created plant based burgers, eggs, and shrimp. Forbes reports,

“With the advent of synthetic biology, the easy reading, writing and editing of DNA could open up a whole new world of designer proteins with enhanced nutrition, flavors, fragrances, and material properties.”

Humans re-engineered with new vaccines

The New York Times reported on the developing vaccine technology called “immunoprophylaxis by gene transfer” in 2015. As the Times reported, animal tests on the synthetic DNA vaccine “are essentially re-engineering the animals to resist disease.”

The New York Times piece went on to say, “…the prospect of genetically engineering people to resist infectious diseases may raise concerns among patients“.

Now, in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic, human beings are set to be genetically altered with mRNA vaccine technology based on synthetic biology.

As reported, the Gates funded synthetic biologists believe that they can “do better” than nature with “self-assembling nanoparticles” that will be injected into...
