There are rural parts of Massachusetts that have run out of natural gas and electric delivery bandwidth. The simplest solution is non-grid connected power and heat generation. Doing this requires no real change in regulation since the power sources are stand alone. Local building codes are the only regulations.

isn't the simplest solution to upgrade the grid? What non-connected power do you envision that isn't natural gas and isn't so expensive you may as well connect it to the grid and upgrade the grid to handle it?
