Thanks Mrjanitor, how about a micro unit, say only one or two kw, so that the household base load is just being met, a/c unit is small but continuous and or supplemented by an electric a/c, winter heat always needed, etc. How about combining with a solar unit per Undustrial post which might have already a device to backfeed power to the grid? The 80c subsidy might make this worthwhile?
Awhile back i read that a high nuke (neutron?) could blow so many hydro transformers that it would be years trying to replace them, during which time, millions would starve. So if people prepare by having a small generator anyway (always useful up north), then the generator capital cost is allocated to the prep budget not the conservation budget. What is involved in making a small generator run on natgas? Is natgas too 'dry' as one mechanic suggested about a possible propane vehicle purchase?
Thanks if you have the patience for my excessive curiosity!
