I do not think this will be a problem. There is a significant amount of unmetered energy already. Many people in the U.S. heat their houses with firewood. In Japan and elsewhere they use solar water heaters, solar electricity, and in the countryside they use firewood. The only problem with metering will be highway taxes which are presently paid with a gasoline tax. You need to replace that with a tax on miles driven, with an annual odometer reading. - Jed
