Maybe it would be reasonable to make people sign a waiver of some kind, because I agree that government support for folks who screw this up is unwarranted.

This is the setup my in-laws have on Sidney Island. Obviously a grid connection is not an option.
I seriously doubt any urban or semi-rural family would pay for a fossil fuel generator when the cost of a grid connection is more cost effective. You only make that decision on principle.
Lanny could default on his bills to the point of disconnection. I doubt the authorities in AZ would pursue it.
