No one said anything about keeping that button connected after co ?How exactly are we supposed to build a fortress style bunker if it's electricity can be simply shut down from the outside?

As it should be! I'm not convinced that the majority of building code enforcement isn't just a money-grab. We need to stop simply kneeling to "authority" and do as we please, within reason. I can totally understand code enforcement if your actions can directly affect another person or their home, but I dont see how off-grid solar does that. Really winds me up hearing stories of people having to fight for their ability to be self sufficient. What the hell happened to our country?This is why I like living in WV. Zero code enforcement beyond septic (loosely enforced) and building codes.
I can pretty much do what I want as long as I don’t live in a major city.
I would argue that the "money grab" is found in a good bit of all regulation in general, both local, state and federal . Look at the inflation reduction act. Had little to do with inflation (the real inflation number is still pretty bad) and more to do with the "green" new deal. ? Lots of new mandates and regs. But follow the money. Supporters are getting the payoffs. Everyone else bares the cost.'m not convinced that the majority of building code enforcement isn't just a money-grab.
Actually..I would argue that the "money grab" is found in a good bit of all regulation in general, both local, state and federal . Look at the inflation reduction act.

The cause of inflation is expanding the money supply, which devalues the dollar. The $3T spending spree a few years ago caused the current inflation. Politicians get away with blaming it on other things because it takes several years for the effects to trickle down to ordinary people.Actually..
It had loads to do with inflation reduction, or rather getting resources and money to stay/be created locally as much as possible .
Dollar leakage was a major reason for inflation ( next to big corp unscrupulous money hogging and stock buy backs)
I agree…. It all started in Bridgeport ct with the land grabbing sleeve balls decided to take property that belonged to a person to give it to a developer. To this date nothing has been built on the property. (If any one knows anything different I would be more than happy to listen).As it should be!

Because YOU never own property in the United states...How can they tell you you have to to purchase a service you don’t want
The key is whether you have anything to lose / take. Homeless people in shanty-town tarp cities tend to have low net worth.. or at least look that way.If you own property - then "they" can regulate all you want to do or build.
But apparently if you Don't own the property, you can build any old shanty-town Tarp city you like, no codes apply to you.
Maybe "they" are telling us to go build whatever the heck we like on public lands and not be concerned with rules regulations codes...taxes
The original issue was that you needed a backup generator to run in most parts of the country... which does have an impact on your neighbors. Other things like connecting to the sewer and public water if available were also public health driven.I can totally understand code enforcement if your actions can directly affect another person or their home, but I dont see how off-grid solar does that.
