@mhoye let's pretend we've solved the backfeed problems of voltage sags/swells, phase sync issues, and the extreme danger to the linemen who cannot be certain if a line will remain de-energized while they're working on it

If a significant amount of people do this and are essentially operating independently from the grid operator, who is paying for the maintenance of the grid now? These people aren't paying for electricity anymore. So who funds it?

If the answer is "nationalize it and have the government cover the costs of everything" the game is over, this isn't gonna happen in America
