Due to the federal government buying up private land around us, we are the only people needing electricity on a seven mile stretch of line. They are requesting a meeting to discuss "alternative power" - that's all they'll say. I would LOVE alternative power, also KNOW I can't afford it. I would like to know our legal standing on this issue before the meeting. Can they just drop us from their power grid should they choose to? Power has been provided to this land since the early 1940's.

Too little information exists to make a knowledgable observation for you. This problem you suggest is very unique and I would urge that you not rely upon any online answer. Get an attorney involved to investigate, do the legal research and provide you with a measured opinion.
