I doubt that anyone could live on this alone, but everyone that lives in Alaska for a year gets a check from the state from their oil revenue. I think it's currently around a couple grand (I think it varies yearly?), but not bad for doing nothing. However, everything is quite expensive there so the check doesn't go too far. My brother-in-law has lived up there for close to 20 years or so now and he is not off grid. Lives in a city, in a regular old house, just like we have down here in the lower 48.
