An option is to run the power lines myself. I have access to a backhoe, and it's not rocket science to dig a ditch and run wires inside conduit. If they won't let me do that, we most certainly will be off grid, which would cost $25k to $35k.

If you start hitting a wall then start hitting your State Assemblyman, State Senator and County Legislator.
