Besides hurricanes, the need for a generator appears to be something of more concern nowadays. The three weeks of no power and then rolling b/o's caused by our last destructive hurricane really, well, sucked big time. A complete switchover system that could power the whole house, ~20K W, would be awesome, but might not be fiscally prudent. If one did acquire such a system, however, would you go with a natural gas line, gasoline or diesel? I would assume propane is an option too, but might not be able to do that here. If not a house system, what kind of mobile generator/setup works best for you?

I'm all for a clean environment, but do you think the Chinese worry about this stuff, at least to this degree? I know, they're creating multiple wastelands...
