I'm pretty sure I remember the last time they tried this, kids were escaping from it.

Damn straight. Considering the expected outcome in this case, refusal is not only ridiculous, it risks sepsis for the mother if the baby dies in utero. How is this health care?

Audacity is in constant use these days (mostly in the context of "the audacity of that b*tch!"). I use quite a few of the others as well.

Someone above mentioned the My Efficient Electric Home group on Facebook - there's quite a lot of knowledge in that group, including the guy who started it (Tim Forcey). Also on Instagram, have a look at @electrify_this. Sarah has recently had a Sigenergy battery put in at her place.
