One thing that I'm excited about particularly is that solar power and batteries fundamentally changes the individual and community's relationship to the state.

Put differently: they aren't rejecting technology. They're rejecting dependency.

That logic scales, everywhere, for everyone, in direct proportion to the amount of available battery.
