Mandated. That’s the one word I hate the most.
I always thought this was the land of the free.

Our house was built in 1978. In Ohio. It was mandated to be built total electric. Our total sub division is electric.That was in just the opposite of times, as we had just came from the 73 oil embargos. 15 years ago they finally ran gas lines out here. 2 of my neighbors switched. We are thinking about putting in some type of solar panels to heat the swimming pool so we can get rid of the heat pump out there. Funny how we swing back and forth.

You are free to pay or index your bill and get a credit. Choice is a wonder thing. Some people in my area pay $1200 a month in the summer months,
I would rather sent that on something else.

Kind of like Obamacare. It was mandatory to have health insurance, but it was way too expensive for me so I chose to pay the fine which really got ridiculous.

Local Ford dealership in AZ had a commercial stating they had the most F150 electric trucks in town. Had to laugh as I think who ever ordered for stock inventory had to ba a liberal and maybe fired.

We need to get Bobby Rashid on here. He just purchased 2 of the Lightnings with the 700 HP motors. He purchased the first one and was so blown away he bought (I think its on order) another. Says he can't let Nancy drive them....Said their so powerful she will kill herself. Was real impressed he could plug the truck into the house during the Michigan winters during power outs and its capable of powering his house for a WEEK.

Maybe able to keep the lights on and the fridge but not the whole house. He would also need an Inverter.

It was in reference to mandatory things the government makes us do.
I never quite understood that one because we have always paid our medical bills. Why should we have to have coverage when we could actually pay the bill if needed????
