A man’s home is his castle, or at least it would be if the government didn’t go around imprisoning people for what they do on their own property.
For most of the country’s history, it has been understood that someone could do whatever they want on their property so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else or infringe on their possessions and holdings. Indeed, this notion was one of the ideas that drove the Founding Fathers to lead their countrymen to independence in the first place.
Unfortunately, the rise of progressivism has resulted in steady expansion of the state’s power, practically giving authorities free reign to dictate how Americans should conduct themselves in their own homes. It seems that there really is nothing to small for the government to stick its nose into, as Minnesota resident Jay Nygard has so painfully learned.

Research the truth. His fight was with planning and zoning, not a utility company.
I have done my research I called my electric Co. And was told even if you buy your own power wind or solar panels you will still have to be hooked up to the grid. If you use less they will pay you. So I’m not sure about this guy I just read the caption.
Morons. This man built a wind turbine prohibited by his homeowners association rules: then VIOLATED THE COURT’S ORDER to take it down, so he was convicted of CONTEMPT OF COURT. BUT YOU DUMBFUCKS say the “Govt is out of control.” LMAO retards.
jerry , dont know about other folks , but ole p c must be guilty as charged ,….. now that i am reading further down , i understand ,,,.. much of our holdings could be for sell, if one wants to own it and do as he desires , fine with me. joyce and i worked very hard for each particle , and enjoyed it, . i agree that much work needs to be done , but when you reach 84 , , so much to do, in so little time….. most any of it could be bought. (,for those of you that do not know. jerry and wife have been personal friends of my wife and myself for many many years.. in fact we were in school together)
Since when does the government own rights to wind or water on your property or Sun for that matter? This is what gets me…the government has no rights with out the peoples consent…when did we lose the power of the people and why did a man get 6 months in prison for building something as simple as a wind turbine….this is ignorant!
Not to mention the wind turbines the government allows to be erected are huge and hideous! Wth!
Mary, you’ll be waiting a long time. It’s Trump’s America now, not yours…
Larry Neel I suggest you give him a chance!! If he doesn’t follow through on his contract with America , then you can hold him accountable!!
Those sort of things are more often than not energy monopolies who push the persecution of anyone who wants to reduce their footprint or disconnect from the grid.
Bull c**p. Stuff like this is driven by conservative monopolies most often
