I don't get it. A very cheap baseline tier would encourage consumption versus what we have today, not reduce it.

Today if I build a cabin somewhere I might decide not to electrify if it costs me $50 per month. But at $10? Sure!



Then if you do electrify, you'll use electricity instead of less-efficient, more-polluting alternatives.

It's a feature, not a bug.


Not if you would have used solar otherwise, or just went without (like a hunting cabin which is often unheated).


Limit it to one use per SSN (dependents included).


I can only imagine the bureaucrats we could hire to manage it!

And why dependents included? Kids can’t move out? I already see ways to game it.
