Thanks, dude. You just had to take a trip to see grandma in your fossil fueled vehicle, didn’t you, instead of buying and EV
Home generator sales are booming with mass outages, climate change and COVID
Outside Christopher Glenn’s house in the small Oregon community of Melrose, a white metal box sits next to the garage. The home standby generator was installed after a long outage in 2019.
“We had a major snowstorm that brought about 3 feet of snow to our backyard, and we were without electricity for approximately a week,” says Glenn.
His spouse works remotely and couldn’t work without electricity. They also own an organic tea business that was shut down by the outage. (snip)
Beyond snowstorms, he’s also concerned about outages during the wildfire season. As in California, Oregon utilities sometimes turn off electricity so power lines don’t spark fires.
Around the U.S., climate change is bringing more intense and frequent extreme weather that often means mass power outages, including devastating, high-profile ones like that in Texas last year.
Yeah, that was a massive cold snap. Heat trapping gasses cause that, along with snow, in Climate Cult World. As for the fires, pretty much every single one can be traced back to someone intentionally or unintentionally causing them, and they tend to be worse thanks to stupid policies from Democrats
If you’re thinking about buying a home generator, Hope says another consideration is climate change. Generators are “actually horrible fossil fuel-burning polluters that, of course, contribute to man-made climate change.” And that, he says, fuels the same severe weather events that result in widespread power outages.
A cleaner but more expensive option is installing solar panels and batteries on a house. Those will keep the power on, like a generator, but only as long as there’s enough sun to charge the batteries.
Those are bit more than a top end generator, but, of course, aren’t as reliable. The genny will work when there’s no sun. Especially in a state that has a lot fewer sunny days.
Our noble host quoted:
Still, they’ll generate power year round on sunny days . . . .
Will we see the warmunists now try to ban home generators, since they, horrors! burn fossil fuels?
Our solution was to add propane, for our range, water heater and fireplace, so that we aren’t cold when the sparktricity fails.
When we lost power for 30 hours, starting at 11:30 AM on Christmas Day, 2002, I asked my darling bride about getting a generator; the heating oil boiler would not work without electricity! She said no, because she didn’t want to listen to the noise.
I had this problem decades ago. My area is outside of town, that makes a difference for some reason. But the electricity goes out frequent and for very long periods, shortest is 6 hours longest, weeks. Without electricity my well does not work, heat and air the same. So after looking at options I went with Generac. Now they have others. These generators are powered by a car motor and noise is minimal, they carry the whole house and are powered by natural gas. Have had the unit 20 years. Most of my neighborhood now have the . Panels might be ok, but if electricity goes out, there rarely is sun. Batteries are now longer than in past and your Tesla can even be used. But batteries are more of a problem than nuclear power and panels only last for a somewhat short period then must be replaced and you are rewarding the Chinamen.

Child, if the power company does its job (assuming the state allows it to, of course) you won’t NEED to run the evil generator.
Absolutely. See: Texas, Feb 2021.
If the power companies had been allowed to spin up the coal plants held in reserve people would not have died and many of us would not have had to listen to our generators running for days.

Mr Teach is treating his loyal followers like children. He pretends to not understand how global warming could cause shifts in climate patterns.

Here Mr Teach builds a straw man and demolishes it! No one claims that global warming sparks wildfires.
