But who would forbide, and how, the people who don't give a s... about rules. I always imagine thingS using my country as reference, since here most people don't respect rules. Systems must be fools proof and cretins proof.
In the USA utililties are already using market-based solutions, as in inverse-rate-based pricing structures,which hit abusers in the purse/wallet.
Everyone has access to so many energy units at a given price.If an individual exceeds that envelope,they're hit with a higher rate,as negative reinforcement for the 'bad' behavior.You can screw your neighbors out of energy and use the air and water for a sewer,but you'll pay for it.
A geometric inverted rate would make it so 'painful',price wise,that people simply could not afford to do it.
Authentic sociopaths would just be fed into the Soyant Green machine.
