It’s called regulatory capture. They have a monopoly here, so they can just raise their prices until the pain threshold starts diminishing their returns noticeably then dial it back a notch.

A fascinating aspect I hadn't considered. Thanks for sharing.

This is a compilation of all my Wood Gas powered projects, from a fire wood fueled Truck to giant flame burping wood stoves all the way to small folding camping style units built for cooking.

Adventure Builders Community - SLRPNK (slrpnk.net)

I'm here to share a fairly famous youtube channel and community from a man I have had some very interesting conversations with over the past 10-15 years. His name is Jamie Mantzel and he basically personifies off-grid living, IMO.

I started a community here on slrpnk.net to clone his Reddit presence because I felt that this was the most philosophically aligned place for this content. The content is automatically cloned over from Reddit (all I had to do was make a request with the Boycott Reddit Bot).

If you've never seen his channel before, you're in for a treat.

Anyway, here's the cloned community: Adventure Builders

or

[email protected] before the bot comes and corrects me!

If anyone wants to help moderate that community, please let me know.

Nope. I spend significantly more time, attempting to engage and energize this community. :)
