@amberfirefly@mastodon.green There's a touch of the medieval guild of electricians about it, and a dash of the general resistance from the sellers of fossil fuels. #SciFi : Robert Heinlein in Starman Jones wrote a Guild system with fees and limits on joining (but with benefits as well) into a future Earth, from which young Jones headed outward. Other moderately or very dystopic guild systems have been written about.
