I’M ACTUALLY PUTTING IN A GENERATOR. GOT THE GAS LINE INSTALLED LAST WEEK. Bill Whittle: Afterburner: When The Grid Goes Down.

UPDATE: People in the comments want details. I’m getting a 22KW Generac — I think it’s this model but I’d have to get out the paperwork to be sure — and I’m getting it with a Y adapter so that it can run off of tanked propane too, though I doubt I’ll ever need that. In truth, in a grid-down situation lasting months like Bill describes, no home generator would be all that great, except maybe one that ran off a huge buried diesel tank. But this would be good through any lesser disaster.
