[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering this, reading all of your responses in the snowstorm prepping topic. You can get a portable, gasoline generator for about $500 at Costco that, at the very least, can power the refrigerator, some lights, electronics, and a space heater or two. If you spend around $1500 (for everything) you can have a large portable generator and an electrician install an outlet and switch to plug it directly into your breaker panel. This becomes (almost) a whole-house generator. For $5,000, you can have a natural gas or diesel one that activates and switches over automatically.[/quote] What I don't understand is, why do people live in areas where you can lose power for days? Makes NO sense in the USA in 2016[/quote] You have not considered how expensive it is to have all power lines buried, particularly in low-density areas.[/quote]
