  • Step 1: Buy a house.
  • Step 2: You are now legally required to buy electricity from the utility company.
  • Step 3: Enjoy your new electricity and debt!

People who rent are also required to buy electricity from the utility company.

In fact, even more so, as they have fewer alternative options like solar or generators.
