    We many times lament when the government overreaches. This is the kind of Trojan horse that enables the government to overreach.

    One might think, this seems innocuous and beneficial, so go ahead, right? Remember that every law is an excuse for violence. You have to ask yourself, how is it moral for the government to, with the threat of violence, force every home to be built with solar panels?

    If I’m a small business, and I build a house without solar panels, is it right that I be bankrupted or/and be put in jail?
